I devoured a Mexican Stack salad for lunch.  It has an odd combination of ingredients, but MAN, IT IS GOOD! The Mexican Stack Salad is perfect for pot luck gatherings.  If you have enough guests attending, each person picks one or two ingredients to bring to the meal.

Mexican Stack Salad

HERE'S ALL YOU NEED FOR THIS TASTY SALAD

  • 2 pounds cooked ground beef with taco seasoning
  • 2 pounds cooked ground beef with taco seasoning (Yes, I wrote that twice.)
  • 2 pounds Uncle Ben's rice, cooked (32 oz. Box)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 box golden raisins, or dried cranberries
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 2 cups coconut
  • 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 carton Sour Cream
  • 1 jar Picante Sauce
  • Large bag Fritos corn chips

This will easily feed a crowd of 20.  It's a great combination of flavors.  The trick is to convince everyone to put every ingredient on their stack.

I personally love the coconut, taco meat, Fritos, and cranberries together.  Doesn't that sound strange?  But I'm telling you straight up, it's soooo good!

    Coconut???

    Yes, coconut! Don’t leave out anything, unless you’re allergic, then okay.

    It is truely good, no matter how strange you think it sounds. Try it for your next big gathering, and taste it for yourself.

    Have I ever steered you wrong?

    It’s one of the best taste treats around. Our host home that served that also had chopped pecans….everything was so delic together.

      The only times I get to enjoy this recipe is for Ladies’ Luncheons or Bible study meetings. Everyone brings one ingredient from the list and we all get to chow down together.

      I don’t know why I don’t think of this recipe for a regular party night, it’s really quite good. And it’s fun to watch everyone freak out over the combination of goodies, but then ultimately go back for seconds.
