When I do a taco salad I like to focus on freshness both in the salad and the toppings.
This salad I garnished with freshly made guacamole and salsa made from fresh garden ingredients. Tasty!
Here’s what you’ll need.
Salad
- 1 lb lean hambuger
- 1 chopped green onion
- 3 mini multi colored peppers
- 1 chopped ripe tomato
- Salt, pepper and taco seasoning to taste
- Chopped lettuce
- Crumbled tortilla chips
- Raw chopped green onions, tomatoes, blacK olives
- Shredded cheese
Fry hamburger, peppers, onions and chopped tomatoes together. Drain off excess fat. Rinse with water to insure less greasy mixture. Return to pan and add seasonings and heat thru. Set aside.
On a large salad plate crumble tortillas, top with lettuce , hamburger and vegetable toppings and cheese.
Garnish with additional chips, fresh salsa, fresh guacamole and sour cream.
