Taco Salad
Great for Parties and BBQ's
  • 1 lb ground beef cooked and drained, cooled
  • 1 Large head of romaine lettuce ripped into bite size peices use 2 heads for a large gathering
  • 1 large jar of salsa sauce, depending on taste i use mild for parties, medium or hot for at home.
  • 1 container of sour cream
  • 1 large bag of taco chips broken into smaller peices.
    hold back the taco chips until ready to serve salad as they go mushy.
    the salad is nicer when its crispy.
Optional
  • 1 onion chopped fine
  • 1 cup of mushrooms chopped
  • 1/4 cup of black or green olives i use green

Mix all ingredients thoroughly mix in taco chips when ready to serve
I have tried this recipe with taco sauce that you mix with water to make
tacos. It does not have a nice taste to it like the salsa sauce, but its a
different variation also.
