Day 17 Recipe – Mom’s Zippy Taco Salad
Rae, along with Brandy, is giving us a classic today – TACO SALAD – but its even better because its Mom’s and its Zippy!!! You know you all remember taco salad day back in the day in elementary school or middle school, I personally loved it and couldnt wait for that same day every week. So take a trip down memory lane with this one, enjoy!!!
As always, Just comment for your chance to win the daily prize. All prizes will be drawn at the end of the month so that means if you get here late you can still comment on every day for your chance to win. Picture of today’s prize is at the bottom of the post.
Mom’s Zippy Taco Salad
You will need
1 pound ground beef
15 ounce can kidney beans, drained
½ cup picante sauce, you could use more if you like
8 ounce bag shredded taco cheese
shredded lettuce approx. 3 cups
bag of tortilla chips
2 medium chopped tomatoes
Brown the ground beef in a skillet. Drain completely, If you don’t drain well you will have a puddle of grease in your salad
Add beef back to skillet, with stove on low/medium, add drained beans, and picante sauce.
Cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until beans are soft, stir occasionally
While that is cooking in a large bowl add cheese, lettuce and chopped tomatoes, stir
When meat is done simmering and beans are done add to lettuce mix, stir to combine
Serve with tortilla chips. (I like to crush chips on top of my salad, on my plate, if you add to salad bowl they will get soggy).
Enjoy!
