Everyone has a favorite taco salad. Here's the one my fans like:
MEXICAN BEAN SALAD
12 ounces ground chuck
2 teaspoons chili powder, or chili and cumin
1/2 white onion, minced
1 10-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 red onion, chopped
4 ounces sharp cheddar, diced
2 tomatoes, cored and diced
1 avocado, diced
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
chopped fresh cilantro to taste
Thousand Island dressing
Brown chuck with chili powder and minced white onion; drain and cool.
Combine with remaining ingredients. Serve over or with tortilla chips,
or over chopped lettuce.
