BEST TACO SALAD!



Best Taco Salad! image

I got this recipe from a friend more than 20 years ago and it remains a family favorite espcially on hot summer days. I cook the beef early in the morning. Sometimes even chop all of the ingredients then, too, so all I have to do is throw everything together when it is time for dinner. Teenagers especially love this. That is a bonus! Have yet to find anyone who doesn't love this super easy salad for dinner.

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning (I use Taco Seasoning Mix)
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
2 -3 roma tomatoes, diced
6 green onions, chopped (I like more)
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans or 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (15 ounce) can large black olives, sliced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (16 ounce) bottle Catalina dressing (I use Kraft)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) bag plain Doritos, crumbled into big chunks

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef, drain grease, adding taco seasoning and following directions on package. Chill.
  • When ground beef is cold, place in a large bowl and add all remaining ingredients.
  • Mix well and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the taco salad will taste. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful ground beef are all essential.
  • Don't overcook the ground beef: Overcooked ground beef is tough and dry. Cook it just until it's browned all the way through, then remove it from the heat.
  • Season the ground beef well: Use a variety of spices to flavor the ground beef, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The great thing about taco salad is that you can top it with whatever you like. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and diced tomatoes.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors of the taco salad together. Use a good quality dressing, or make your own with olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

Taco salad is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover ground beef. With a few simple tips, you can make a taco salad that's sure to please everyone at the table.
