PLATYPUS WINE COUNTRY TOURS’ TACO SALAD RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 2 Heads of Romaine Lettuce Chopped
- 1/2 Cup Shredded Jack and Cheddar mix
- 1 handful of Tortilla Chips Crushed
- 2 Roma Tomatoes, Small Dice
- 1/3 Cup of Sliced Black Olives
- 1/4 cup of your favorite Ranch Dressing
OPTIONAL: With Meat
- 1/2 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 Pinch of Cumin
PREPARATION METHOD
For Taco Salad with Ground Beef:
- Heat a saucepan on medium heat.
- When the pan is smoking slightly, add the beef, cumin, a teaspoon of salt, and a few shakes of pepper. (Remember to limit the salt since the chips will increase the salt levels of the salad.)
- Cook for 15 minutes or until most of the fat has been rendered and separated from the meat.
- Drain and let cool.
- Set aside.
For the Meatless Components
- Combine the romaine, chips, and cheese in a large bowl.
- Mix in the ¼ Cup of Ranch Dressing slowly, folding in small amounts at a time.
- Incorporate the tomatoes and olives as a topping for color and presentation.
If ground beef is a component of your Taco Salad, add this to the top, as well.
Since this Taco Salad recipe is straightforward, it is a great way to get kids who usually dislike salads and greens to eat plenty of them!
