In medium frying pan, prepare crumbles and Taco Mix according to the directions on the  
Taco Mix package. Once completed, set aside until the following step is done.  
In a LARGE mixing bowl (we use a 22-quart stockpot), mix all vegetables (lettuce,  
tomatoes, chilies, avocados, onions, olives). Mix well.  
Add cheese, Doritos, and taco ‘meat.’ Add Thousand Island dressing and Tabasco sauce.  
Mix thoroughly, using your hands (this is a VERY messy step. The ingredients are heavy  
and wooden spoons or a spatula will break).  
Once all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, ladle taco salad into a pretty serving bowl, or  
let your guests dish it up from the stockpot.  
This salad will go fast. It can be used as a main dish, a side dish, or as one element of a  
buffet. Leftovers can be microwaved, but the lettuce and Doritos may wilt. This doesn’t  
affect the taste, just the presentation.

Tepertos Pogacsa 1998  
From: Eva Kende  
Pogacsa is the ultimate fast food in Hungary. These savory buns are sold in every bakery,  
at every subway station and served at every pub. My favorite is Tepertos Pogacsa, which  
has pork cracklings as its identifying ingredient, and thus is loaded with artery clogging  
fat and cholesterol. For a friend who was yearning for this treat after his triple by-pass  
operation, I developed this recipe for the authentic flavor, drastically reducing the fat  
content. Incidentally, the preparation time was also reduced which always makes me  
happy.
