and last but not least:

Warm Mexican Salad

 I really just made this up- and it' not original in any way but I crave it constantly. Using salsa for dressing cuts a lot of calories while keeping flavor. 

1 bunch Red Leaf Lettuce Chopped

1 Can of black beans rinsed well

1 Can Corn, drained

Boxed/Bagged Mexican/Spanish Rice cooked according to package- you can also add the spice packet to some quinoa. 

1/2 cup Prepared Salsa

Tortillas-warmed. 

Place torn lettuce on bottom top with corn and beans, warm spanish rice, and finish with salsa. I usually eat one tortilla on the side, you could also use tortilla chips as croutons.
