<\/span>Taco Salad<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
My lovely wife remembers that, as a second grade teacher, she would teach about Mexico and Canada to her students. Part of that was the preparation of a Taco Salad, to this recipe. Everyone seemed to enjoy it!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>Ingredients<\/span><\/h3>
  • 1<\/span> lb<\/span> hamburger, or ground turkey, or plant-based burger such as Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger,<\/span> browned, drained, shredded, and cooled.<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> head<\/span> lettuce (I use green leaf and spring mix, instead of iceberg)<\/span> cut up<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> small<\/span> onion<\/span> diced<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> lb<\/span> shredded Mozzarella cheese<\/span><\/li>
  • \u00bc<\/span> lb<\/span> shredded Cheddar cheese<\/span><\/li>
  • 2<\/span> fresh tomatoes<\/span> diced<\/span><\/li>
  • 1<\/span> can<\/span> kidney beans<\/span> rinsed and drained<\/span><\/li>
  • Nacho chips or tortilla chips<\/span><\/li>
  • Salsa<\/span> (optional)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

    <\/span>Sauce: Mix together the following<\/span><\/h4>
    • 6<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> mayonnaise<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> garlic powder<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> chili powder<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bd<\/span> tsp<\/span> Tabasco or other hot sauce<\/span><\/li>
    • \u00bc<\/span> cup<\/span> taco sauce<\/span> if desired<\/span><\/li>
    • 3<\/span> Tbsp<\/span> milk<\/span> (Maybe more to make a pourable consistency.)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      <\/span>Instructions<\/span><\/h3>

      <\/span>Various alternative serving suggestions:<\/span><\/h4>
      • Mix the meat, veggies, beans, and cheese in a large bowl. You might mix in the sauce now, or serve it on the side.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Add the crushed chips, or serve them whole on the side.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • You could also serve all the ingredients in separate bowls, and let the eaters "build" their salads to their own individual taste.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Salsa could be served on the side, as well.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
