I've always loved tacos but I think the assembling part can be a pain, especially if I'm making mine and the kids' because they were too small to make their own. Once I had taco salad this way, I never made tacos again! (Salsa pictured in my photo is Zesty Salsa for Canning) I have found that squeezing some lime juice over the prepared salad makes it even better! YUM!! Ingredients:
1 (13 1/2 ounce) bag tortilla chips (plain, nacho or lime) or 1 (13 1/2 ounce) bag corn chips |
1 lb hamburger |
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package old el paso taco seasoning mix |
1/4 cup water |
1 bunch lettuce, shredded |
1 tomato, chopped (optional) |
1 onion, diced (optional) |
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded |
1 (2 1/2 ounce) can black olives, sliced (optional) |
1 (16 ounce) jar salsa |
8 ounces sour cream (optional) |
Directions:
1. Brown hamburger (I use the microwave) and drain.
2. Add taco mix and water, mix.
3. Heat thoroughly, about 2 minutes in the microwave, stirring once.
4. Layer ingredients on each plate.
5. I use the following order: chips (crunched up), meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, black olives, taco sauce and sour cream.
6. Use whatever taco toppings you enjoy.
7. Mix and eat.
