Life According To Lily

Good morning readers.

Sorry I haven't updated this as often as I would have liked but between being in the hospital and everything else going on, this is the first chance i have gotten to post a new recipe. I am feeling much much better now and I should be able to post more often.
Now let's see what we've got brewing in the cauldron this morning...
For today's enjoyment we have a taco salad. This is a recipe that you can do only half of if you like. In fact if you aren't taking it to a party or picnic or feeding a bunch of people, you might want to cut it in half. It does make quite a bit.
I make this all the time for picnics when I have the ingredience and when I do it goes pretty quickly.

PARTY TACO SALAD

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs ground beef
2 packages taco seasoning mix
16 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
1 red onion, chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped
4 tomatoes, chopped
2 avocados, chopped
1 can black olives, chopped
1 large bag of Doritos nacho chips, crumbled
1 8-ounce bottle Catalina salad dressing

DIRECTIONS:

Brown ground beef with chopped yellow onion. Add 1 package
of taco seasoning and water according to package directions.
Set aside to cool completely. In a large bowl mix together
chopped lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, red onion,
olives, and 2nd package of taco seasoning. Add cooled beef
mixture. Just before serving toss with the dressing and the
last step is to mix in 3/4 of the package of crushed Doritos,
leaving the rest on the side for people who want extra.
(they get soggy if you do them too early.)

Ok there you have it for today.
If you have a favorite recipe you'd like for me to post, send it to me and I'll be happy to post it for you. If there's a recipe you'd like to see, let me know and I'll get it posted for you.
Untill next time...
