Taco Salad!

This recipe I got from my mom's family recipe book. It is def a Utah recipe and I love it! It is not something you would want to have everyday since it is not very healthy but it is delicious and has veggies so it is easy to trick your mind into thinking that it is healthy while you are eating it! =)

Chop:

• 4 tomatoes
• 1 head lettuce

Toss w/:

• 8 oz. thousand island dressing, more or less depending on your preference.
• 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese

Add:

• 1 C chopped avocado (optional)
• 6 oz. bag crushed tortilla chips
• 1 lb. browned ground beef, seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
• 15 oz. can kidney beans
• 1/4 tsp salt

If you want you can add extra chips, avocados and tomatoes.
Serve with salsa, sour cream or hot sauce. I like it just the way it is but the missionaries and husband all liked it with some hot sauce on it too!
