Everyone has a different way to make taco salad.  I’ve had it more ways than I can count and I personally love them all!  This is how we have adapted it in our house and it is always devoured – even by Addie (except the lettuce)!  My husband grew up on this, expect that he says they had “special taco meat” which I later found out was pot roast!  Anything will work :-)

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb ground meat (we use ground turkey from Costco)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use the pre-shredded Mex mix from Costco)
1 snack bag of Fritos (I buy these in snack packs b/c a large bag goes stale before we need it again and a snack bag is just right!)
2 x Avocado, diced
Iceberg or Romain lettuce (I prefer Romain, Hubby likes Iceberg) cut into strips
Salsa
Taco Seasoning (you can buy a packet at the store, I have a large bottle from Costco as we use it a lot and like to add a little extra for extra kick)

Directions:

1. Brown the meat and follow the directions on the taco seasoning packet.
2. While meat is simmering, add lettuce, avocado, cheese and Fritos to a salad bowl.
3. Add meat and salsa (to your liking), toss and serve.

You can also make a couple of cheese quesadillas and divide the triangle wedges between everyone to serve along side.

Family Favorite!
