Wednesday WOW Recipe… CRAZY GOOD TACO SALAD:)
Many years ago, my friend Dawn gave me this yummy taco salad recipe. For some reason, I can’t get my kids to eat salads very often, but they POUND THIS ONE DOWN:)) I wish I was talented enough to make homemade taco bowls to use for the base, but you can buy them already made. It adds a lot of extra calories, so usually I just serve in a fun bowl or plate.
CRAZY GOOD TACO SALAD
*1 head of iceburg lettuce
*1 head of leafy green lettuce
*bag of Fritos
*2 cans RANCH STYLE BEANS (brand)
*1 jar French dressing (orange color)
*cheddar cheese
*green onions- chop
*celery- chop
*1-2 pounds ground beef or turkey (seasoned)
*olives- optional cuz my hubby hates them:)
**taco bowls- optional
DIRECTIONS:
Chop or tear lettuce into bite size pieces. Drain the beans. Chop up all your veggies & add to lettuce. Chill. Brown the meat.
JUST BEFORE you serve the salad.… add your beans, dressing-amount is up to you, meat & cheese (too early & it will get soggy-yuck) Mix it good. Top with Fritos & serve!!!! The combination of dressing & beans rocks!!!
Enjoy this yummy salad outside tonight…. light some tiki candles & don’t forget the mosquito spray!! ps: Happy 17 months Zoie!!!
Yummy stuff. My friend calls this "taco stack" and lets everyone layer theirs according to taste. You can't skip the dressing, though. It is the secret weapon@
