This can be prepared ahead of time & tossed together at the last minute. Have a huge bowl because it makes a lot!

Catalina Taco Salad:

1 1/2 lb lean ground beef with 1/4 t. salt - brown & drain & add
1 can kidney beans, drained
Cool Completely (I pat with paper towels to absorb extra fat & put in freezer for a little while to speed cooling)

Next, mix:
1 med. onion, chopped
4 tomatoes, diced, or I like cherry tomatoes, halved
1 med. head lettuce, torn
1 ripe, black, avacado, diced (optional, I skip)
med. black olives (my addition)

Add: above to cooled meat mixture along with
1 med. bag regular fritos
1 sm. bottle of Kraft Catalina dressing
4 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese

Delicious!
