An unshared recipe... is like an unlighted candle! I am sharing this wonderful recipe for your family you. Sometimes called a Mexican Hat, and even a Texas Hat. I have tried a few recipes on the internet, all so very different, and found that this one is with out a doubt, the very best! More ingredients, and more flavor. I found it in a 1975 Iowa Church Cookbook! Recipe by Geo.R. The corn chips on the bottom of plate supposed to look like straw. What a delicious mix of salad ingredients..it is sure to please everybody. Nancy...2/7/13
