EASY TACO SALAD

This meal literally takes 15 minutes to make. We eat it at least once a week in the summer. It is easy to take as a picnic, too.

Throw all the following things (in any order) into a big bowl and voila....your kid friendly taco salad:

1 lb browned hamburger or ground turkey seasoned with taco seasoning

1 can Black Beans, strained and rinsed

1 can Kidney Beans, strained and rinsed

Iceburg lettuce, finely chopped. I use 1/2 to 3/4 of the head

Shredded cheese (I use a couple handfuls of Costco's big bag of shredded Mexican style cheese). The amount does not matter much, probably about a cup and a half.

Chips: our favorite is the Flavor Twists Honey BBQ Fritos or Doritos

Mix and serve with dressing of choice*.

*I grew up using Thousand Island, my kids prefer Ranch, Mik and I love Ranch with some BBQ sauce stirred into it (so good).
