Steps:
- Start with the taco meat.** Brown 1 pound ground beef in a skillet on the stove, over medium heat. Break up the meat into small pieces. Once it is no longer pink (3-5 minutes), remove from heat. Tilt the pan and scoop the grease into a foil-lined bowl (then refrigerate and toss when solidified). Return the pan back to the stove and set over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup Premium McCormick's taco seasoning. (Or a regular taco packet will do. See notes for a homemade recipe.) Add 3/4 cup water to the pan. Let the mixture come to a simmer. Turn off the heat when there is still thickened liquid at the bottom of the pan. If you cook until all the liquid has evaporated, you will have dry taco meat; no thanks. Set aside and keep warm, covered.
- Prep the lettuce and herbs. Chop the romaine into bite size pieces and dry in a salad spinner (or dry off with paper towels). Add 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1 bunch of chopped cilantro. Spin to mix, or add to a large bowl and toss together.
- Prep your toppings. Grate 1 and 1/2 cups cheddar cheese. Chop 1 and 1/2 cups tomatoes. Thinly slice 8 radishes. Dice half a red onion. Chop 2 avocados (or make a quick guacamole with them by adding a bit of lime and salt). Thaw out 1 cup of frozen corn (I usually stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds and then let it finish thawing on the counter). Slice 1 or 2 jalapeno peppers. Crush some Juanitas or Fritos, but leave some whole for garnishing.

VERY UNUSUAL TACO SALAD
This recipe is going to sound very strange, but this taco salad has been a family favorite for years. We've made it so much, we just eyeball all the ingredients, but I know you use equal amounts of the wet ingredients in this recipe. Adjust ingredients to your taste, and prepare to be suprised. This is great for a lunch or even an appetizer for a party.

CRAZY TACO SALAD
I received this recipe from my sis in law at my bridal shower 28 years ago. It's still a favorite, at pot lucks and at home for dinner on a hot summer day. It's crazy because the dressing for the Taco salad is - Italian, but nothing else will do. We've also tried other beans, has to Ranch style. You'll get rave reviews.
