Taco Salad

Sorry it's been so long since a post but I have been crazy tired!!  And as a result have been making pretty simple dinners! Here is one that I made a while ago and took pictures of because I was excited with how it turned out!  We love taco salad in our house and when we first got married tried to make our own taco bowls by frying them.  They were oily and although they tasted good, I'm sure they weren't good for you! So for days when I want dinner to be simple and filling, I make these! Yum!! I usually eat two, "don't you judge me!" (name that quote!!) Anywho, this is what I do....take large size tortilla shells and push them down inside a glass bowl/dish.  Bake them until they are golden on the edges and will hold there shape. Then you get these babies!!! Mine look wavy because I use a truffle dessert dish that I found at the store.  But they don't need to be wavy.


I made the smaller ones for the littles, I just cut the tortillas down a little and pushed them into muffin tins.  Perfect for little hands! Then to fill them I just put refried beans on the bottom, then meat, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and salsa, Yum-o!!!


My littles are a little picky, so they just have beans, meat and cheese. But, still super good!

Enjoy!

  1. Well, if I recall correctly the quote is from "My Name is Earl". I think it is his ex-mother-in-law.
