TEX-MEX TACO SALAD



Tex-Mex Taco Salad image

A family favorite, this Tex-Mex Taco Salad recipe has been in my family since I was a little girl. It's the perfect supper on a hot summer night.

Provided by Wendy O'Neal

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning (I make my own Homemade Taco Seasoning)
2 (15oz) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 bottle French dressing
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large head of lettuce, roughly chopped
1-2 tomatoes, diced
1 small bag chips (Doritos or I prefer RiceChips Sweet Chili or similar)
1/2-1 lb cheddar cheese, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Brown and drain ground beef. Season with taco seasoning according to package directions. Remove from heat. Add drained beans, dressing, and onions. Stir to mix. Chill for several hours.
  • Add cheese, if desired, when cool. Just before serving, add lettuce, tomatoes, and lightly crushed chips. Mix together and serve.
  • **My favorite way to serve is to not mix in the lettuce, tomatoes, or chips, but to layer them on my plate...lettuce, taco mixture, tomatoes and then serve the chips on the side (kind of like my spoons).
