Ingredients:
Beans: You'll also need a can of chili beans.
Dressing: Use store-bought or homemade French salad dressing.
Seasoning: Use store-bought or homemade taco seasoning mix.
Chips: Crushed tortilla chips add welcome crunch and salty flavor.
Lettuce: You can't have taco salad without shredded iceberg lettuce!
Toppings: Top your taco salad with Cheddar cheese, tomatoes, salsa (store-bought or homemade, of course), and sour cream.
Optional:
Beef: This meaty taco salad starts with a pound of lean ground beef.
You can easily omit this ingredient if you prefer a more traditional flavor.
More popular toppings include jalapenos, corn, pico de gallo, avocado, black beans, onions, and black olives.
If you like, you can serve the taco salad in a store-bought tortilla bowl.
Directions: Cook the beef, then stir in the beans, dressing, and seasoning. Place crushed chips in a bowl, then top with lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. Mix in the meat mixture. Finish the taco salad bowls with sour cream and salsa.
