Taco Salad Recipe

I brown ground beef.
I add taco seasoning when it's almost done (read instructions on packet)

Then in bowl:
chopped lettuce
can of drained corn
crushed Doritos
can of kidney beans drained
chopped tomatoes
chopped red onion

Add cooked, seasoned beef to bowl of lettuce/tom/onion/corn/kidneybeans/crushed Doritos etc. Then mix in bottle of Thousand Island Dressing. Voila! Done! Yummy

ThiS is an old-school 70s recipe that I've loved all my life! It's always a hit! I lighten it with light dressing and ground turkey breast instead of beef:

Torn up head of lettuce

1can of drained and washed kidney beans

1sliced or diced avocado

1 green bell pepper diced

1 onion diced

1 diced jalapeno

1 lb cooked ground beef with taco seasoning

Thousand Island dressing

A bag of crushed taco flavored ( yea -they're back) Doritos

Mix it and mix in dressing and chips immediately before serving or let people add those two things on their own. Scrumptious!

You can use ground turkey, beef or chicken.

I have had the one with the thousand island dressing, and it was awesome. We had it at a birthday party, and she had to send everyone the recipe afterwards it was so good. I never would've guessed it was thousand island, couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was, but come to find out that was it. Yummy!

We make a meatless one.

Lettuce (duh)
Red Onion
Red Kidney Beans
Crushed Doritos
Cheddar Cheese or Mexican blend Cheese
Catalina Dressing.

It's always a big hit.

My taco salad consists of ground beef with taco seasoning, Mexicorn, shredded cheese, lettuce with Paul Newman's Light Balsamic dressing, and Fritos! ;) It's easy and very good!

Our Taco salad is

2 lbs, Ground Beef with 1 medium onion chopped, 1 garlic minced, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper and 1/2 tsp cumin browned in a skillet.. then drain.

Chopped 2 heads Romain and iceberg lettuce
2 med tomatoes chopped
1 avacado chopped
1 bunch green onions chopped
1 red Bell Pepper sliced (med sized.. Or half of a large)
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese

For dressing you can either use Hot sauce or Pico de Gallo

Or Catalina Dressing.

Top with crushed Tortilla chips.. Or taco shells.

You can cut this recipe in half. Let em know if you need a hot sauce reipe or Pica de Gallo recipe.

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Onions
Olives
Avocados
Cheese
Pinto beans
Tortilla chips
Browned ground beef seasoned with chili powder

Dressing:
Sour Cream and Pace Picante sauce mixed together

Brown 1lb beef, some chopped onion, and a little garlic in the skillet and drain.
Add a packet of Old El Paso taco seasoning and the amount of water it says on the packet (I can't remember offhand), and follow the directions (basically bring to a boil, stir, let it simmer uncovered a few minutes). We add a can of chili beans in hot chili sauce to ours, when adding the taco seasoning.
For the salad, some people just do lettuce or whatever, but since it's guaranteed my children WILL eat taco salad, I take advantage of that fact and add more vegetables to it. I cut green leaf lettuce (because it's a pretty, darker green so more healthy than iceberg, but also because I like its pretty, curly bits---yes I know that sounds stupid, lol), and then add fresh tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, very small bits of celery, etc-whatever you want in a salad. Instead of topping it all with salad dressing we serve with either sliced avocado or some guacamole (if you're not making your own, Wholly Guacamole is THE one to buy), shredded cheese, and salsa. If I'm preparing this for people other than my family of 4 (meaning I'm not certain what everyone likes), I will have guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, and salsa separate and they can top their own salads as they please.
You can either make your own baked tortilla bowl or serve them in a bowl and just use corn chips. If I'm in a hurry, corn chips are great. If I have guests and want to impress a little bit, I'll bake the bowls.

ground beef browned and drained
season with taco seasoning as per package.
lettuce (i cheat and buy chopped already)
tomatoes diced
Shredded cheddar cheese
onion diced (if desired)
thousand island dressing
old el paso taco sauce
crushed doritos (choose what you like)

Put all veggies and cheese in a big bowl. add how much dressing and taco sauce that you like. mix well. (I usually do half of each bottle to 3 bags of lettuce. I also use a bowl with a lid so I can just toss it with the lid on.)
you can mix in hamburger mixture or layer on individual plates and top with lettuce mixture and top with crushed doritos.
