A taco salad is an interesting twist to a
healthy salad. You won't find anyone at the table moaning about having fresh
vegetables here. It's wonderfully tasty. And, this is really easy and quick to
make.
Just take your choice of tortillas, and fry them in a shallow pan
(use a small amount of olive oil) until they are crispy. Lay them on paper
towels to absorb any excess oil. I like to use large flour tortillas and cut
them in fours for easier handling while eating.
You can use ground
turkey, or beef, chicken tenderloins or just beans... it's a versatile recipe.
Here we used left-over meat. Add in layers: tortillas, meat, refried beans, any
kind of lettuce or spinach, some fresh tomatos, avocado, green chilies, black
olives, and grated cheese and whatever else that strikes your fancy... don't be
afraid to experiment! After the layers are on, it's ready to serve.
Kids
love to help make this, and it's a million times better than anything you'll
ever get for them at Taco Bell.
Here's how I start them... as you can
see I space each quarter apart to avoid getting the crispy tortillas
soggy... |

When you have it all made up, add some
fresh
homemade salsa and perhaps a dollop of sour cream, and
enjoy. |
