Dish 8 - Grandma Ellie's Taco Salad

Grandma Ellie's Taco Salad

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 small chopped onion
1/4 tsp salt
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 head lettuce, chopped
4 tomatoes, quartered
4 oz cheddar cheese, grated
1 large bag Doritos, crushed
1 cup Thousand Island Dressing
1 small bottle mild taco sauce
1 avocado, chopped


Method:

1. Put beef in skillet and brown.
2. Add onion and salt.
3. Drain fat.
4. Add kidney beans.
5. Simmer for 5 minutes and cool.
6. Mix together the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and Doritos.
7. Add to meat, just before serving.
8. In a small bowl, place serving of mixture with dressing, sauce and avocado.
   

Notes: Another really easy meal to make. When I was cooking the meat and not adding any seasoning, except salt, I thought that it might be a little bland, but with all the ingredients together, it's actually a good combination of flavour. I might try and put some cumin, or taco seasoning in the meat mix next time, but trying to decide if it would then have too much flavouring. I guess I can only experiment and see!
