Ingredients
Taco "meat"
  • ½ white onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
Guacamole
  • ½ avocado flesh, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced white onion

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice from ½ lime
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons salsa

Instructions
  1. Add sliced onion and water to a medium-sized saucepan. Heat on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until onions are softened.
  2. Add chickpeas and taco seasoning and reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
  3. Meanwhile, add guacamole ingredients to a small bowl and mash with a fork to combine. Set aside.
  4. Pile all of the salad ingredients in a bowl. Top with guacamole and taco "meat".
Notes
This recipe serves 1 person. Feel free to double up on the recipe if you need to feed more.

I used chickpeas because they hold well together when pan-frying. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Edamame may be really good, too!
