Steps:

• Dump lettuce in a large serving bowl (or the lid of Tupperware Serving Center).
• Dump chips in another serving bowl (or the lid of the Serving Center if you didn't put the lettuce in it).
• Mix sour cream and green onion slices; place in center compartment of serving center.
• Place each of remaining ingredients (except chips) into one compartment of the serving center--being artistic in your arrangement so the colors look "nice."
• BRIGHT IDEA #1: Heat up a can of refried beans, slather some on a burrito skin, and use to wrap around a hard-taco shell, then fill shell with fav ingredients--it won't crack!

AIR FRYER NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 3 minutes. Line air fryer basket with foil or a parchment liner, and spray with cooking spray.
• Spread out chips in the fryer basket in a single layer, slightly overlapping chips, so the cheese doesn't melt through. Lightly dust chips with taco seasoning to get a pop of taco flavor, and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Don't overcrowd the basket.
• Top cheese with olives and tomatoes and place basket in the air fryer.
• Air-fry until cheese is melted and chips are starting to slightly brown on the edges, 5 to 6 minutes. Watch closely to be sure the cheese doesn't burn. If necessary, add additional time until you reach your preferred crispness.
• Move nachos to a plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.

TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the red onion with half the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then set aside.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat, and crumble in the mince. Cook for 15-20 mins - the mince will release some liquid, but once this has bubbled away, it will sizzle in its own fat. At this point, stir or toss with a wooden spoon so the mince browns and caramelises all over. If the pan becomes too dry, add a drizzle more oil. When the mince is well toasted, sprinkle over the taco seasoning and cook for 2 mins, then stir through the tomato purée and pour over the rest of the lime juice and let it sizzle for another minute. Stir through the black beans and turn up the heat to medium, continuing to cook until everything is hot. Taste for seasoning, then set aside.
• To make the dressing, mix the lime juice with the soured cream and chilli sauce, if using, season, then set aside.
• Scatter a handful of tortilla chips into a bowl, then add a layer of lettuce, then the mince and black beans. Top with the avocado slices, chopped tomato, pickled red onions, along with any juices, and the feta. Drizzle with the dressing, then finally scatter over the coriander. Tuck more tortilla chips around the sides of the bowl, then serve.
