Easy Taco Salad
I always have chips, hamburger, lettuce and seasonings in my pantry and fridge and so this recipe is a goto favorite of mine. My mom taught me long ago to always have pantry items available for quick dinners for those unexpected dinner guests. Always have staple ingredients ready to go for a variety of dinner ideas. It saves time, money and sanity! Here’s the link for the fresh salsa I like to make.
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef, tofu, chicken or turkey
1 tbsp creole seasoning salt
2 cups cooked kidney bean (rinsed and drained)
1 head iceberg lettuce (chopped)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
5 tomatoes, chopped
1 bag corn tortilla chips (I like to use taco flavored Doritos)
French dressing
Salsa
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet on the stove and cook the hamburger. Drain excess grease from the hamburger, rinse the cooked hamburger if needed.
2
Add the creole seasoning to the hamburger. Stir to combine. Set aside
3
In a large bowl add the chopped lettuce, kidney beans, shredded cheese, and chopped tomatoes. Toss to combine.
4
Add the hamburger to the lettuce mixture and mix to combine. Add enough french dressing to lightly coat.
5
Place a large handful of corn tortilla chips on a plate and top with lettuce mixture. Finish off with a dollop of sour cream and salsa. Salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!

***I also like to make my own corn chips, just cut some corn tortillas into 8th's, deep fry them until golden brown and then sprinkle with Tajin seasoning or seasoning of your choice. Serve with the taco salad.
