Recipe(tried): Tossed Taco Salad,EASY

My sister in-law gave me this recipe and we have it all the time in the summer.

Tossed Taco Salad

Ingredients:
1 head of lettuce,torn
1 bunch of green onions,chopped
4 tomatoes,chopped
12oz. cheddar cheese,grated
1 15oz. can of red kidney beans or black beans,(I don't drain them but you can)
1lb. ground beef
1 8oz. jar of 1000 Island dressing
1 package of Taco/salsa flavor Tostitos or Fritoes,crunched to bite size

Directions:
You will need one LARGE bowl and a small one. Brown ground beef until fully cooked. Mix first five ingredients in the large bowl while beef is cooking and set aside. Mix salad dressing with the ground beef in the small one and add to the lettuce mixture while still warm and toss in crushed chips just before serving.

If you are taking it to a picnic don't add the chips until you get there and it will be great.
Of course if you like it spicy like my husband and I you can add japs./chili peppers and change the regular 1000 dressing to Krafts Southwestern style dressing but it's great the other way too (especially for kids).
