Hi everyone - Sorry I am late to the party today. I worked in Brooklyn all morning and messed off a bit when I got done. Anyway, Here is my Taco salad. I have yet to bring back leftovers.
Taco Salad
1 ½# 85% lean ground beef
1 Firm head of lettuce
1 or 2 tomatoes
3 Bunches of green onions
1 Brick of Monterey Jack Cheese
1 Brick Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 Package of Taco Seasonings OR See Below
1 Good size bunch of Cilantro
1 Bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos
Adobo to taste
Prepare the meat
Brown the hamburger (Just brown, do not overcook)
When it is brown, add the taco seasonings.
Mix it well.
Dump it all into a colander to drain as much oil as possible.
Prepare the rest of the ingredients
Cube the tomatoes in about ¼” cubes put in a big bowl.
Slice the Green onions and put in the bowl.
Chop the cilantro and put in the bowl
Sprinkle some Adobo on it (lightly) and mix it all up.
Cut the lettuce in half and thinly slice half of the head.
Crosscut the lettuce to easily eaten pieces and put it in the bowl.
Mix it all up
Shred 3/3 a brick of Monterey Jack into the bowl.
Mix well – Take care the Monterey Jack clumps.
Shred 2/3 a brick of the cheddar into the bowl.
Mix well
Dump in the meat and mix well.
Just before serving
Crush ½ to ¾ of the bag of Doritos into the bowl and mix well
I serve it that way with dressings on the side. I like Italian vinegar & Oil
Taco Seasoning
INGREDIENTS
6 teaspoons chili powder
5 teaspoons paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
This has a pretty good bang to it, You can change the amount of chili powder in it to taste. I used it as is, because the cheese will moderate the heat of the seasonings.
How do you make yours?
Hope you are having a great day
