How do you make Taco Salad? (ingredient, ground beef, chicken, beef)

[gentlearts]

I'm making it tonight, and I got to wondering how others make it.
Here's how I do it...

Brown 1# ground beef, add
1pkg. Taco seasoning, prepared according to instructions (I know I could easily make my own)

Doritos
Refried beans, warmed
Chopped Romaine lettuce

Chopped fresh tomatoes, grated cheddar, chopped onion, black olives, sour cream, salsa, guacamole.

Crush some Doritos in the salad bowl
Top with some beef and refried beans
A bunch of Lettuce
Top with tomatoes, cheddar, onion, guacamole and olives.
I use sour cream and salsa on top as dressing.
DH uses some kind of salad dressing.

Et vous?

1 pound ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 can red kidney beans drained
1 can black olives drained
chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
ranch dressing
crushed tortilla chips (plain flavor)


I brown the ground beef with the taco seasoning, then drain it. Add everything to a large salad bowl except the dressing and the chips. Then I add the chips and dressing and toss well. It's one of our favorite types of salads.

I also have used the tortilla strips if I make it for company. They are a little finer than the chips.

Kidney beans sound good instead of refried beans. I've never put the meat on top, ohky, but that might be good.

I sort of like the way the meat and beans make the chips mushy on the bottom, though.

I like to the chips to stay crunchy that's why I add them right before serving. I used the tortilla strips once and liked the crushed tortilla chips better.

I have a set of those perfect tortilla pans. They're very easy to use, the clean up is a snap, and they really do come out crunchy.

Baked tortilla bowl
Chopped iceberg, red onion, tomatoes
Meat - ground beef seasoned with taco seasoning, leftover chili, or chicken seasoned with taco seasoning
Shredded cheese, depends on what's on hand - cheddar, colby jack
Sour cream
Salsa - favorite is mild salsa verde

Sounds like we all make it about the same: I like the kidney bean idea over the refried beans as well. We usually don't use any dressing, but top the salad with home made salsa. It is certainly not a mild salsa either. sometimes we use shredded chicken instead of ground beef. As for the chips, anything we have around the house we use, but I prefer Dorito chips.

Iceberg, romaine, taco beef, salsa, sour cream, and some tortilla chips crumbled in. Taco beef is already so salty, I can't imagine using Doritos as an ingredient. I had no idea that was a thing.
