Taco Salad

The thing I love so much about this salad is that it has so much flavor and doesn't use salad dressing. The following recipe is the particular way I make the salad, however, feel free to add whatever you like.

Taco Salad
Serves 2-4

1 lb of lean ground beef
1-2 cups canola oil

3 corn tortillas, cut in quarters

Salt & pepper

Garlic salt

Romaine lettuce, chopped

American cheese, shredded

• Brown beef in a medium sized skillet over medium heat.
• While beef is cooking, pour oil in skillet on medium high heat.
• When oil is bubbling slide tortilla quarters in oil flipping occasionally. When golden brown (about a minute) place on paper towel-lined plate to soak up oil.
• Season beef to taste.
• Place in paper towel-lined bowl to cool.
• While food is cooling, in a large bowl combine lettuce and the desired amount of cheese. Then add beef to salad mixture. Mix well.
• Divide among plates and garnish with homemade tortilla chips.
