Taco Salad  
Stacy Mueller  
1
½
1
pound hamburger  
envelope taco seasoning  
cup salsa  
Shredded cheese (cheddar, colby-jack, etc.)  
1 medium head lettuce  
tortilla corn chips  
Brown and drain hamburger. Mix in ½ envelope dry taco seasoning, then add about 1 cup  
salsa. Allow mixture to cool. Shred or cut lettuce into bite-size pieces. Crush chips into  
smaller pieces, reserving enough "perfect" chips to arrange around the edge of your bowl. Mix  
meat mixture, lettuce, and cheese close to serving time. The amount of cheese used can vary  
according to your taste. I reserve 1/3 to ½ cup of the cheese to garnish the top of the salad.  
Just before serving, mix in crushed chips. Tuck the perfect chips in around the edge of the  
bowl and sprinkle top with cheese.  
Notes: You may choose to add other favorite taco ingredients such as olives. (I don't like  
olives.) The cheese should not be finely shredded for best results. This dish is best served  
and eaten all in one sitting as the chips will get soggy and the lettuce may wilt slightly. If you  
won't be able to eat it all at once, only mix together as much as you can eat. If taking salad  
away from home, mix lettuce and chips in once you get to your destination, if possible.
