Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup white onion (chopped)
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (optional, for those wishing a more pronounced Taco flavour)
- 16 ounces red kidney beans, drained (1 can)
- 6 cups lettuce (1 head)
- 1 avocado (diced)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated (or shredded, I like shredded Pepper Jack or Four Cheese)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups Catalina salad dressing (I use Kraft)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (I only use 1 cup or less and use Hellmans)
- 3 tablespoons taco sauce (mild, I now use medium)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups crushed taco chips (lightly crushed in small pieces, I like cheese Doritos)
How to Make
-
Step 1: In skillet over medium heat brown meat with onions, for those wishing a more pronounced Taco flaour add 1-1 1/2 tablespoons dry Taco mix, drain excess fat and cool in medium bowl and refrigerate until ready to assemble
-
Step 2: In large bowl (a clear glass bowl makes for great eye appeal) tear lettuce into bite size pieces, to the lettuce add diced advocado, drained kidney beans and the grated cheese, mix well, at this point if I am not sure how many I will be serving I half the recipe into two serving bowls as if not used the chips become soggy, each bowl getting half the dresing
-
Step 3: Just before serving in small bowl mix Kraft Catalina dressing, Hellmans Mayonnaise and Taco sauce and add to meat mix
-
Step 4: Add the meat mix and dressing to salad bowl, mix lightly and top with crushed taco chips, some of my family prefer to have the crushed taco chips mixed into the salad
-
Step 5: One can add a bowl of Taco Chip on the side when serving.
