Ingredients:
- ground something (turkey, beef, tofu or chicken - for the brave!)
- shredded lettuce (can be bought in a bag already done - but I have a GREAT sous chef who deftly diced and shredded a head of iceberg by hand! much more lettuce for much less money)
- tortilla/corn chips (I prefer TOSTITOS® Restaurant Style with a Hint of Lime Flavored Tortilla Chips - perfect burst of flavor!)
- Salsa (any brand, any "heat", whatever you like best is perfect! For me? Pace Hot or Medium)
- Taco sauce (the most commonly missed - again Pace for me, unless there's another good one on sale, HOT only for me here too!)
- fresh limes
- cheese (shredded "Mexican style" from the grocery store is perfect for this)
- Taco Bell taco seasoning (for the meat)
- sour cream (I prefer fat free = guilt free for using the whole tub!)
- assorted seasonings (dill, cilantro, salt, pepper, parsley, etc..)
Instructions:
- Cook the ground "something" that you chose with the Taco Bell seasoning (best I've found so far - incredibly flavorful), dill, cilantro, salt, and pepper until well done. It's NEVER okay to partially cook any kind of ground meat!
- Drain the cooked ground "something" either with a sieve or in a bowl with paper towel
- Shred lettuce if you purchased a solid iceberg head
- Open everything up! (container of sour cream, jars of salsa and taco sauce, cheese, chips)
- Now - here's the fun part - decide what order you want to pile it up! I can tell you my favorite (from bottom layer *1* up), but obviously its a personal choice.
- hint of lime chips
- ground beef (my "something")
- shredded cheese
- salsa
- taco sauce
- shredded lettuce
- sour cream
- Cut the lime in half and squeeze desired amount on top of awesome salad creation...yum!
- ummmm....ENJOY!!!
