Taco Salad

One of our favorite recipes and we look forward to this every summer for the 4th of July. My husband grandma came up with this recipe and it took me a little while to get his recipe for the sauce. My husband and I have also altered this recipe to fit what we like and I will put those changes in this recipe along with the original so that you can decide what you want to do.

Taco Salad

In a fry pan cook 1 lb of ground beef until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning minus 1 Tbs (set the Tbs aside.) In a large bowl combine 1 head of lettuce (chopped) 1 onion chopped. 2-3 tomatoes chopped. 2 cups of shredded cheese.

So now that you have seen that portion of the recipe. I do not add the lettuce, onion, or tomatoe. My husband and I have turned this into more of a pasta salad. I use the rotini type noodles. I cook them and let them cool and add the ground beef in. I then make the sauce...

8 oz of Thousand Island dressing
1 Tbs of dry taco seasoning
1 tsp of sugar
1 Tbs of taco sauce (Ortega)

Crush 2 cups of taco flavored doritos
Add to salad and mix altogether.
Then add Cheese and mix again.
