Taco Salad

One of the best things about taco salad is that it is SO kid friendly. Or really just “picky eater” friendly. For example, when I make taco salad for my teen girls, I have some girls who will just eat chips, meat, and cheese. Others who eat everything. Others who just do lettuce, meat, and salsa. And of course all different combinations. That’s what is great about making your own taco salad. You don’t have to worry about picking out the stuff you don’t like. So with that, I give you… TACO SALAD!

Taco Salad

Ingredients:

Meat:
1 lb lean ground beef
2/3 cup water
1 tbsp chili powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
¼ tsp oregano
½ tsp paprika
1 ½ tsp cumin
½ tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Optional Items:
Chips
Lettuce, shredded
Tomato, chopped
Cheese, shredded
Sour Cream
Salsa
Cheese Dip
Refried Beans
Black Beans
Guacamole

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef in skillet over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked through. While meat is cooking, mix all seasonings together in small bowl and set aside. When meat is finished, drain fat and use paper towels to absorb excess fat from meat. Put meat back in skillet and add 2/3 cup water and add mixed seasonings. Bring to boil then turn down to simmer for 20 minutes.

2. Layer items according to your preference and enjoy a tasty meal!
