1 pound hamburger
1/2 envelope taco seasoning
1 cup salsa |
Shredded cheese
(cheddar, colby-jack, etc.)
1 medium head lettuce
tortilla corn chips |
Brown and drain hamburger. Mix in 1/2 envelope
dry taco seasoning, then add about 1 cup salsa.
Allow mixture to cool. Shred or cut lettuce into
bite-size pieces. Crush chips into smaller
pieces, reserving enough "perfect"
chips to arrange around the edge of your bowl.
Mix meat mixture, lettuce, and cheese close to
serving time. The amount of cheese used can vary
according to your taste. I reserve 1/3 to 1/2 cup
of the cheese to garnish the top of the salad.
Just before serving, mix in crushed chips. Tuck
the perfect chips in around the edge of the bowl
and sprinkle top with cheese.
Notes: You may choose to add other favorite taco
ingredients such as olives. (I don't like
olives.) The cheese should not be finely shredded
for best results. This dish is best served and
eaten all in one sitting as the chips will get
soggy and the lettuce may wilt slightly. If you
won't be able to eat it all at once, only mix
together as much as you can eat. If taking salad
away from home, mix lettuce and chips in once you
get to your destination, if possible. |
