BEST TACO SALAD!



Best Taco Salad! image

I got this recipe from a friend more than 20 years ago and it remains a family favorite espcially on hot summer days. I cook the beef early in the morning. Sometimes even chop all of the ingredients then, too, so all I have to do is throw everything together when it is time for dinner. Teenagers especially love this. That is a bonus! Have yet to find anyone who doesn't love this super easy salad for dinner.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup McCormick's Premium Taco Seasoning
3/4 cup water
1 head Romaine lettuce
1/2 cup green onions (chopped)
1 bunch cilantro (chopped)
1 & 1/2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 & 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes (or chopped tomatoes of any kind)
8 radishes (thinly sliced)
1/2 red onion (chopped)
2 avocados (chopped (and/or 1 cup guacamole))
1 cup frozen corn (thawed)
1-2 jalapeños (sliced)
Juanitas tortilla chips ( or Fritos, crushed)
sour cream (to taste (optional))
restaurant style salsa (to taste (optional))
sliced limes (to garnish)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 (.4-oz) package Buttermilk Ranch Seasoning
1 serrano pepper (roughly chopped)
2 tomatillos (halved)
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 lime zest
1 lime Juice
milk (if the dressing is too thick)
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup Restaurant Style Salsa
1 teaspoon taco seasoning (**)
1 lime Zest
1 lime juice

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.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head lettuce, washed & drained well
1 (8 ounce) container grape tomatoes
1 (12 ounce) bag Doritos (I prefer Pepper Jack or Extra Nacho)
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) bottle fat-free Catalina dressing (regular makes it way too greasy!!)
1/2 lb ground beef
taco seasoning

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef and drain. Add taco seasoning - follow package directions. Alow to cool slightly or put in refrigerator if you don't want to use the salad right away.
  • TEAR lettuce into bite size pieces, but into bowl. Cut tomatoes in half, and spread out on top of lettuce. Put cheese on top of tomatoes. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, add Doritos, meat (if refrigerated, use microwave to take chill off of meat), and salad dressing. Toss well!
  • Don't skimp on the cheese or doritos, the more the better! I use the whole bag of Dorito's. Not snack size, or Extra large, just the regular size bag -- .

WORLD'S BEST TACO SALAD



World's Best Taco Salad image

My family loves this. It is pretty healthy. I only use organic vegetables and meat. You may use Ground Beef if you choose. Any type of tomato paste will do. Use a small can. Any type of cheese will work. I use 1 cup of Sharp Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Monterey Jack cheese. Use whatever you want. But Swiss is not recommended. I use stone ground tortilla chips from Trader Joe's. Tostito's works great too. I don't know how big the bag is in weight but just use the medium-ish sized bag. Since Zaar won't let me put that, I'm going to guess about 20 ounces. I use Tapatio brand for Hot Sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
