Taco Salad
I won’t lie to y’all and say I’m a big salad guy, because you know I’m not! Sometimes though, I love to get down on some taco salad. Some friends of mine put me onto this recipe a few years back, and it’s become a staple while I’m on the road. You know I can’t do taco salad like everyone else, so I go ahead and throw some Doritos in it, and then add some Catalina dressing on top. This salad is delicious, and it’s not super heavy. Honestly, it’s refreshing after a long day on the water, especially this time of year.
Ingredients: Ground beef (I used 5 pounds and had plenty), two red bell peppers, two heads of lettuce, one sprig of Cilantro, two onions, one bag of shredded cheese, three packets of taco seasoning, one large bag of Doritos, one bottle of Catalina dressing.
Tools needed: Pan with lid, spatula, small blender (optional), large knife, cutting board, mixing bowl.
