7 layer taco salad
(1 rating)
I got this from a former co-worker over 20 years ago. It is a huge hit each and every time I make it. You can make all kinds of changes/additions to make it your own. Add a layer of guacamole or change the meat to refried beans for the vegans. Use ground turkey/chicken for the heart healthy. Use the hot taco seasoning if you like more heat. subtract the jalapenos if you want less.Serve with chips.

How To Make 7 layer taco salad
-
1Mix softened cream cheese with sour cream and 1 package of taco seasoning until smooth. Place on bottom of large, deep container.(Resist the urge to use low fat sour cream, too runny) -
2Prepare ground beef and 1 package of taco seasoning as per package instructions. Drain and spread over layer one.
-
33rd layer: Spread chopped lettuce over meat.
-
44th layer: Chopped onions.
-
55th layer: Chopped tomatoes (I use fresh, has better flavor and you CAN taste the difference).
-
66th layer: Jalapeno peppers if desired. Dependent upon who the audience is, I will either finely chop them or just slice and layer them.
-
77th layer: Spread cheese all over the top.
-
8Refrigerate over night preferably to allow the flavors to meld.
-
9When ready to serve, allow to come to room temp (about 90 minutes) before serving or your chips will break off in the bottom layer.
