Taco Salad

This is easy to make and kids love it so much.

Ingredients:

  • 1 big head romaine lettuce
  • 1 bundle green onions
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 large bag Zesty Doritos (orange bag)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 cup mild cheese, or as much as you like
  • 1 tsp. salt

Directions:

Wash lettuce and dry it well or let it drip dry. Next fry your ground beef, grate cheese, and chop green onions, using all but the roots. It is easy to mix the lettuce, green onion, and ground beef in a big roast pan.

In a small bowl, mix the oil, salt, and lemon juice.

Right before serving, add cheese then crush the bag of chips, and add. Pour your small bowl of lemon juice and oil mixture in and toss. You may add more lemon juice, if you like it more tangy.

  • 1 large bag barbecue Frito-Lays corn chips
  • 1 bottle French dressing

  • 2 cans kidney beans

Directions:

Brown the hamburger and drain. Mix with taco seasoning according to package directions. Place in large bowl. Put chopped lettuce, diced onions, chopped tomatoes, corn chips, and the 2 cans of drained kidney beans in the bowl. Toss all the ingredients together.

Pour French dressing over top and toss everything together again. So yummy and easy to make. You can also add black olives if you like. It is always a big hit at family gatherings.

If you are taking this to church dinner, put the hamburger on bottom and all the ingredients in bowl. Put lettuce on top. When you get there, add the corn chips and french dressing, and toss. It will not get soggy this way.
