DRESSING I USE FOR MEAT
How to Make Taco Salad - Cassies
- 1Mix ingredients for dressing. Set aside...this can also be used for salads. Or you can use another french dressing.
- 2To make your tortilla bowls. Heat at least 3 inches of oil in a deep fryer or in a heavy saucepan to 375 Degree F.
When at right temp...place tortilla in oil...leave this sit for about 10 seconds. Now, with a metal ladle, press the center of tortilla and fry for 1 - 2 minutes, until golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat for however many bowls are needed. - 3In a medium skillet, brown beef with onions, garlic and peppers, over medium high heat. When meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Drain.
- 4Now, add seasonings, beans, corn, taco sauce and 1/2 cup of dressing. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes as flavors blend. Stirring frequently. Taste and see if you desire more seasonings.
- 5Divide lettuce between bowls, depends on how many salads you are making as to how much lettuce is needed.
Top each bowl of lettuce with desired amount of meat mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Top with your favorite toppings.
