MOM'S TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Brown beef or turkey, add about 4-6 shakes of Tabasco sauce, depending on how hot you want it.
• Drain kidney beans, mix in with meat and cook on low for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
• Remove meat/bean mixture from heat and let cool.
• While the meat is cooling, chop lettuce and dice onion.
• Combine both dressings in bowl and set aside.
• Mix all ingredients except dressing in a large bowl. *If you aren't going to eat it all right away, put chips on each serving instead of mixing them with the salad; they will get soggy and gross if you refrigerate the chips in the salad.
• Add dressing then mix again. *I use a big bowl with a lid so I can just throw all ingredients in the bowl, cover with the lid and shake it.
• Notes: I made this once without beans, and it was not good at all. I don't like beans so I pick them out before I eat it.

MOM'S TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning as per directions on package.
• Set aside.
• Drain and rinse can of pinto beans and set aside in a separate dish.
• Prepare all other ingredients and set aside in separate dishes. This is a layering process, so I just have all the ingredients lined up buffet style, grab a plate and build your salad.
• Grab a handful of lettuce and place on your plate.
• Then a handful of Fritos.
• Add a couple spoonfuls of ground beef mixture.
• Add a couple spoonfuls of pinto beans.
