Taco Salad Recipe

Prep Time:  30 minutes

Ingredient List:


1 pound lean ground beef, browned
1 head of lettuce, chopped
1 onion, chopped fine
1 green pepper, chopped
1-16 ounce can of red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
3 medium ripe tomatoes, cut in wedges
1-7 ounce bag of taco chips
1-8 ounce bottle Western Dressing*


Kitchen Equipment Needed

Extra Large Mixing Bowl
Frying Pan

Instructions:
Step 1
:  In a frying pan, brown the ground beef and crumble in the pan. Drain and cool completely.

Step 2:  Chop your lettuce, onion, and green pepper and place in a very large mixing or serving bowl.

Step 3:  Rinse and drain the kidney beans well in a strainer. Add them to the other ingredients.

Step 4: Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add them into the mixture.

Step 5: Shred the cheddar cheese and toss with the other ingredients. Add in the cooled hamburger and mix together well.

Step 6:  Just before serving take handfuls of taco chips and crush 7 ounces and add it to the taco salad recipe. Pour a small bottle of Western dressing over all and mix thoroughly.

Helpful Hints:

*  Add the crushed taco chips and dressing no sooner than 30 minutes before serving or the chips will become a bit soggy.

*  If your salad does become soggy after sitting in the refrigerator as a leftover, just crunch up some more taco chips and mix in before serving.

*  Western dressing is similar to a French dressing, except that it is not as sweet. It is tangier and imparts a nice flavor.

Makes a generous 12 servings.
