Taco Salad

This is by no means a new recipe for me. In fact last night I was surprised to find that I had never blogged about this. My mom has been making this salad for years and years.

This is a great warm salad. Which makes it great for a summer salad that needs a little meat! Or it works well in the winter time when eating something cold is out of the question.

Start by browning a pound of ground beef. Add taco seasoning, a little water, and one can of drained and rinsed kidney beans. Heat until warm again. Last night I used black beans and it worked great.

Then just place crushed tortilla chips in a bowl, add salad greens and any veggies you like. Spoon beef and beans over salad. Top with cheese and dressing. I personally like Catalina on mine, but taco sauce and a good salsa works well too.
