06of 11Steak Taco SaladPhotographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Margaret Dickeyt, Prop Stylist: Julia BaylessThis gluten-free take on a taco salad uses seared flank steak in place of ground beef.

Keep the tortilla chips whole for scooping, or lightly crush them and sprinkle on top of the bowl.View Recipe
