Taco Salad

Most of the time I make this as a meal all by itself.  My dad actually made this one and we had a lot of company so I threw some grilled chicken with it.  Just so happens his recipe is the same as mine.  This is great for warm days and you don't want to heat your house up, or you just want something light, yet filling.  You will love this recipe.

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 can kidney beans drained

1 can chili beans drained

1 bunch green onions or 1 whole onion chopped

1 head of lettuce chopped

2-3 tomatoes diced

1 bag shredded cheddar cheese

1 bag Doritos crushed

1 packet taco seasoning

1 bottle Italian Dressing

Directions:

Cook your ground beef and drain any grease.  Add your packet of taco season with 1/4 cup water.  You don't want the sauce on the meat runny, but you want it well coated.  Then set aside to cool.  In a very LARGE container add chopped lettuce, tomatoes, onion, drained beans, and cheese.  After meat has cooled add it to the salad mixture.  Stir until it is all well mixed.  When you are ready to eat it add your crushed Doritos and Italian Dressing.  I like to wait if I'm taking it somewhere because the Doritos will get soft.  I like them crunchy.

Enjoy!!!
