I have been trying to make recipes on the healthier side lately. This Smoked Taco Salad can be made with ground beef or ground turkey meat. The Bradley Smoker P10 cooks the meat to the perfect tenderness and flavor. If your family is anything like mine you will need to make a dish that is tasty as well as healthy. You can add as much protein as you’d like to this recipe and add or subtract calories depending on your toppings. It’s a guaranteed hit!
