Recipe Roundup

I have some of my favourite recipes on a website that I don't really use anymore, so I'm going to start transferring most of them over here.

Starting with this one:

Taco Salad

Ingredients:

-1 head iceberg lettuce, or 2 bags of mixed greens or whatever quantity for however big you want your salad*
-3 large tomatoes rough chopped, or grape or cherry tomatoes to taste
-1 10oz bag shredded cheddar cheese (or grate your own if you're more ambitious than I am)
-1 red onion, frenched
-1 small can diced green chilies (opt)
-1 small can sliced black olives
-1 lb ground beef, turkey, or chicken
-1 packet taco seasoning
-1 bottle Catalina or French salad dressing (the red stuff)

Brown meat in large skillet. Mix in chilies and olives. Add taco seasoning and mix well. DO NOT add water according to package directions. Let cool.

Meanwhile, chop lettuce and add to large bowl. Add remaining ingredients except salad dressing.

When meat mixture has cooled, toss with salad. Add salad dressing and toss to evenly coat.

Serve over taco chips or tortilla chips.

*this recipe based on 2 bags mixed greens which gives fair proportions
