Adventure #2: Taco Salad

Dinner tonight was thrown together from a few ingredients that I had on hand, mostly because I was too lazy to actually cook anything. A great taco salad would, of course, require a little bit more effort, but this one is a good 10 minute dinner. I promise that my next adventure will be something other than mexican food and something that is even more special and tasty than a mexican breakfast tart. Until then, enjoy!


Easy Taco Salad

Ingredients:
  • 2 flour tortillas
  • lettuce
  • salsa
  • canned black beans with jalapeño, warmed in microwave
  • mexican blend shredded cheese
  • sour cream
Procedure:

  1. Toast tortillas under the broiler until lightly browned and crispy. (I used a toaster oven with a glass door so I could keep an eye on them.) Once toasted, cut each tortilla into 8 triangles (you could also cut them before toasting).
  2. Toss shredded or torn lettuce with a few Tablespoons of salsa and about a handful of cheese. If you want to add tomato or other veggies, toss them in as well. Serve salad in a bowl with tortilla triangles arranged in bowl to catch salad.
  3. Spoon the desired amount of beans on top of salad and garnish with sour cream, one tortilla triangle, and extra cheese.
  4. Enjoy!
