Taco Salad

[Patscga]

Many years ago a friend served this to me and I would like
to have the recipe. I recall that the bowl was lined with
taco shells and there was lettuce and ground beef in it.
Thanks a lot. Pat

Easy. Get your basic taco ingredients and layer them in
a bowl lined with chips. Either use salsa as a dressing
or french.

Kind of a no-brainer, I think.

No recipe needed, really. Just use taco ingredients:
cooked, seasoned, drained ground beef; diced tomato; diced
onion; lotsa sliced lettuce; maybe chopped green onion,
cilantro, and/or black olives; broken up taco shells or
corn chips (not Fritos -- the larger dipping/nacho types)
and grated cheese with dressing of choice. Someone's
mentioned salsa and sour cream. I've used salsa and mayo --
equal amounts of each. You can layer everything prettily
(chips, meat, veg, lettuce, cheese) like a giant taco, or
toss with dressing just before serving -- the chips will
stay crispy for quite a while.

Depending on how much work you want to invest, you can also
bake or fry corn or flour tortillas in 'bowl' shapes to hold
the other ingredients.

Taco salad is good with a ranch dressing also

I like to make dressing from taco sauce and sour cream. Yum.
May have to have this in the next few days. SusanBinGA
