Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Four 6-inch corn tortillas, preferably white, cut into 1/4-inch thick strips
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos, plus 3 tablespoons brine
Two 15-ounce cans black or pinto beans (or a mix), rinsed and drained
One 14-ounce bag coleslaw mix
2 cups loosely packed and roughly chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup shredded Cheddar
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the tortilla strips on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread out into an even layer and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
  • Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the jalapeños, brine and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  • Toss the beans, slaw mix, cilantro, Cheddar, tomatoes and onion with the taco-jalapeno dressing in a large serving bowl. Season with salt. Top with the tortilla strips and dollops of sour cream if using.

SWEET 'N' SPICY CHICKEN



Sweet 'n' Spicy Chicken image

My husband and three children love this tender, sweet and spicy chicken. Peach preserves add just a touch of sweetness, while taco seasoning and salsa give this dish some kick.

SWEET & SPICY TACO SALAD



Sweet & Spicy Taco Salad image

I love taco salad but I hate buying those packets of taco seasoning from the store. Half the ingredients are things I can't even pronounce and the other half are spices that almost everyone keeps in the pantry. After tweaking this recipe a bit, I think I found the perfect balance of sweet with a gentle heat. I prefer to use lean ground pork but beef would work just fine. Just make sure you drain the extra grease.
