Recipe: Taco Salad

Taco Salad

1 lb. ground beef
1 taco seasoning packet (I use Shilling)
1/2 head of head lettuce, chopped
1/2 bag tortilla chips, broken into medium size pieces
1 can garbonzo beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 to 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 avocado, diced
1 tomato, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
sour cream and salsa for garnish, if desired

Brown the ground beef, and season with packet, following directions on package as if you were making for tacos. Set aside and allow to cool slightly while you make the rest of the salad.

Mix together the lettuce, garbanzo and kidney beans, cheese, avocado, tomato and onion. Add tortilla chips and meat last, toss, and serve immediately, topped with sour cream and salsa if desired. (The seasoning/sauce on the meat become your dressing, and you really don't need anything else.)
