Taco Salad


There are a million ways to do Taco Salad, but this version is adapted for simplicity in New Zealand to keep our costs low.  Tomatoes and peppers from our garden make this salad really special and bring the costs down even more.
 
Taco Salad
 

INGREDIENTS:

1-2 kilograms ground beef mince
5 cups black beans, optional (I cook 2 cups of dry beans from the Asian market overnight in the crockpot to save $$)
1/2 cup homemade taco seasoning, optional

In a large skillet, brown the beef on medium high heat.  Add the beans and seasonings, heat thoroughly.  Meanwhile, prepare the following items:

2 heads romaine lettuce, cut into bite sized pieces
1 family sized bag tortilla chips or Doritos
1-2 cups shredded cheese
1 red onion, diced
sour cream
salsa

Easy!  Serve this in a buffet style so people can have fun building their own plate.
