Marianne’s Taco Salad
Ingredients
½ - 1 lb of ground beef or ground turkey
brown meat as usual in a little olive oil with some garlic, salt and pepper
just before it is done, add some taco seasoning (as much or little as you want)
Cut up 1 good size head of lettuce (whatever kind you like) - cut smallish pieces
Add 1 good size tomato diced up
Add 1 Red, Orange or Yellow Pepper - diced up
Add ½ -1 small onion - diced up
Mix all the above together in a large bowl.
Directions
Mix all the above together in a large bowl.
Let meat cool completely and then add to the lettuce mixture.
Then before you serve it, add 1 good cup of sharp shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of busted up tortilla chips and some Catalina dressing. The dressing goes a long way so go easy as you mix it up until you see how much you want. For a large bowl, I use about 1/2 a bottle.
What I do is mix up what I want for that meal and the I save the rest without the cheese, chips and dressing. Then you have leftovers and can just add the chips, cheese and dressing for when you want it next. It does not save and believe me - I've tried!
Also, as a side note, I sometimes don't use the Catalina dressing, I use a container of salsa and use that as the dressing instead. It is really good
