I keep forgetting to post. Again. So, in an effort to remedy that, here's a recipe for Taco Salad as my family always made it.
You will need:
A big bowl
Utensils to toss the salad with
Something to mix the dressing in
A spoon to mix the dressing with
The Salad:
Brown 1 pound lean ground beef/hamburger. Make sure it's crumbled. Add in taco seasoning of your choice and just enough water to allow you to coat the meat with the seasoning thoroughly but not so much that the water doesn't evaporate off easily.
In the big bowl, add in the salad mix of your choice (you can buy a bag of salad or you can tear up various types of lettuce or even add a variety of veggies). Add 1 can each: black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans. Feel free to leave out any bean-type you don't like. Add seasoned meat. Toss. Either refrigerate or serve right away with choice of toppings (ie. diced tomatoes, diced green onion, sliced black olives, guacamole, and/or thin-strip type corn chips) and dressing.
Dressing:
Mix sour cream with either picante sauce or Mexican-style taco/hot sauce. The idea is to create a creamy yet spicy mixture. Choose your heat level and mix it with however much sour cream you like. Just be aware the more sour cream, the cooler the heat and the more the fat. Pour or drizzle over your portion of the salad. Enjoy. :D
