Good for Summer

TACO SALAD

Meat Sauce:

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 small can tomato sauce
1 envelope taco seasoning
¾ cup water

Salad:

1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheese
1 can black olives, drained (pitted)
2 small tomatoes, chopped
2 cups tortilla chips, crushed

Brown ground beef and onion until onion is translucent and beef is browned. Add tomato sauce, taco seasoning and water. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.

Place salad ingredients into a large bowl. Add meat sauce and toss. Serve along with remaining chips, or a nice loaf of French bread. It’s a meal all by itself!

(Note: This recipe makes A LOT, so I put it into two bowls. I don’t add meat sauce to second bowl in case we can’t eat it all.)
