Taco salad is pretty generic, and ingredients vary depending on taste and what’s on hand. It’s a great one-dish meal, and easy to make. Here’s how I do it:
Crouton's Taco Salad
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 pkg taco seasoning (hot or mild, your choice)
- 1 can chili beans
- iceberg lettuce, shredded
- red leaf lettuce, shredded
- red onion or scallions, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- salad peppers, sliced
- black olives, whole or sliced, regular or kalamata
- tomato, sliced or chopped
- garnish & toppings: chopped jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, ranch dressing, tortilla chips
Directions
Brown & crumble ground beef, add taco seasoning with 3/4 cup water, mix & simmer. Head chili beans. Shred lettuce, toss with other salad ingredients. Top salad with beans and seasoned ground beef, then top with garnishes.
