How to Make Mom's Taco Salad
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef or turkey over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 4-6 dashes of Tabasco sauce (adjust to your preferred spice level).
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the meat and bean mixture from the heat and let it cool completely.
- While the meat cools, prepare the remaining ingredients: shred 5 cups of lettuce, dice 1/2 cup of red onion, and dice 1 cup of tomatoes.
- **Make the Dressing (see recipe below) or use your favorite ranch dressing.**
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled meat and bean mixture, lettuce, onion, and tomatoes.
- Add your chosen dressing and gently toss to combine.
- Serve immediately. For later, add chips to individual servings right before eating to keep them crunchy. Avoid refrigerating with chips already added as they will get soggy.
