Ingredients For Making Easy Taco Salad
1 lb.
ground turkey
(or beef)
1 to 1-1/2 packets of
taco seasoning
(depending on how spicy you like it)
1
onion
, diced
1 (15 oz.) can
black beans
1 bottle
Catalina dressing
(8 oz.)
Romaine lettuce
, chopped
Chips
of your choice (we like plain tortilla chips or Doritos)
Garnishments of your choice (we like
tomato, sour cream, grated cheese, and guacamole
)
Saute onion and brown meat. Then drain the meat, add 3/4 cup water, and taco seasoning (we usually use one and a half packages for more flavor). Simmer for about 5 minutes on low.
Then add beans and dressing to desired consistency. I usually end up using about 2/3 of a bottle rather than the whole thing.
Don't be afraid to taste test at this point. You may want to add a little more seasoning or dressing. Simmer all together for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Now it's ready to serve any way you like it.
I like to layer it like this from the bottom up: Lettuce, chips, sauce, grated cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and tomatoes. Glen likes to start with his chips at the bottom...so feel free to be daring!
Enjoy!
