Taco Salad takes very little time to throw together and it only takes a little of this, a little of that.
HERE'S ALL YOU NEED
- cooked ground beef seasoned with chili powder & cumin
- green leafy lettuce
- can of kidney beans, drained
- shredded Monterrey jack & cheddar cheese
- medium tomato, roughly chopped
- purple onion, thinly sliced
- tortillas chips
- salt & pepper
- Catalina dressing or Thousand Island
Start by seasoning cooked ground beef with chili powder and cumin. Set aside and allow to cool. Lay down the lettuce as the foundation, start with ground beef, then work your way down the list. You add as much of each ingredient as you wish to eat. I prefer Catalina dressing, but my husband prefers Thousand Island. To each their own.
The beef and beans make this a filling meal fit for serving at dinner time. My husband totally enjoyed it after a long hard day. (Yeah!!!)
That looks great! I love a good taco salad.
Taco salad is such an easy thing to throw together and there are many ways to make it! I add black olives and sliced avocado to mine. For the dressing I mix equal parts of ranch dressing and salsa, or for a lighter meal I just use salsa. You can also make this vegetarian by omitting the meat and adding more veggies or beans. YUM!
