Beef n Bean Tacos & Avocado Ranch Dressing

o.m.gee!


A spoonful of [avocado ranch dressing] makes the medicine go down.  You've been owned, Mary Poppins.  Sugar has nothing on my dressing.

It's all that, and a bag of chips.

All that was needed was tacos.  Crispy, crunchy, protein packed, cheesy - messy, yummy goodness.  I had everything I needed at home in my pantry (bonus for dinner being a pantry meal).  I added pinto beans to the mix to up the wow factor.

But lets be serious - I was simply looking for a vehicle to get the dressing into my mouth.  

Tacos make a great nutrient delivery system.  Everything you need/want all contained in a handy little shell.  Tacos are awesome.  It's like a law or something.

Avocado Ranch Dressing

Ingredients:

1 cup fat free Greek yogurt (I used Fage 0%) 
1/2 cup skim milk
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing
1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and mashed
lime juice


Directions:

1.  Peel, pit and mash a ripe avocado in a bowl. Squirt a little lime juice on the mashed avocado to keep it from browning. Set aside.

2.  Measure out Greek yogurt and milk, put into separate bowl.  Add ranch dressing mix.  Combine until thoroughly mixed.

3.  Add in avocado, stir until blended.

4.  Put into air tight container and refrigerate for at least one hour before eating.
