Med Bag of Chips

Ham, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and arugula.

Ham and Cheese Sandwich

Sliced turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mustard in a whole wheat wrap.

Fit Turkey Wrap

Choice of ground beef, shredded chicken, grilled chicken, or steak. Mixed greens, a blend of cheeses, guacamole, tomatoes, cucumber, Mexican corn, brown or black beans, eggs, bacon.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Cooking Ground Beef

If using pre-cooked shredded chicken, simply measure out 2 cups. If cooking from scratch, boil chicken breasts for 20-25 minutes until cooked through, then shred using two forks.

Preparing Shredded Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and any desired spices. Grill over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Slice into strips.

Grilling Chicken

Season steak with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or skillet over high heat and cook steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.

Cooking Steak

In a large salad bowl, create a base of mixed greens. This should cover the bottom of the bowl generously.

Prepare the Salad Base

Chop tomatoes and cucumber. Scatter the chopped tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and Mexican corn evenly over the mixed greens.

Add Vegetables

Rinse the brown and black beans under cold water. Add them to the salad bowl, distributing evenly over the vegetables.

Incorporate Beans

Choose your protein (ground beef, shredded chicken, grilled chicken, or steak) and add it to the top of the salad.

Add Proteins

Sprinkle the blend of cheeses over the salad, then add a generous scoop of guacamole on top.

Top with Cheese and Guacamole

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of water, bringing it to a boil, then covering and letting sit for 12 minutes. Cool in cold water, peel, and slice.

Cooking Eggs

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and chop into pieces.

Cooking Bacon

Top the salad with the sliced hard-boiled eggs and crispy bacon. Serve immediately with your choice of dressing.
