My Taco Salad
"There are a lot of taco salad recipes that have salad dressing, this is NOT one of them. I wanted something a little healthier and without salad dressing and this is what I came up with. It is filling and good! You can adjust the amount of ingredients, it's not an exact science. It is great with flavored tortilla chips too (I like it with lime tortilla chips)."

This was very tasty. I usually do ground beef without beans but add more cheese and stuff. I had a little less than a poound of turkey and i added the black beans right in with it after it was browned. I did add a bit more chips and lettuce and a can of sliced black olives but same basic recipe. Yum! -
This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe other then I used ground beef instead of turkey. I also used a can of refried beans instead of black beans. I didn't add the tomato on my one son's serving as he doesn't like them. Everyone enjoyed this. I did add the optional sour cream but not the black olives. Made for Fall PAC 2008.

<p>I like to experiment in the kitchen and am not afraid to modify a recipe based on what I have on hand or what I think might taste good. I enjoy cooking things that are simple, delicious and nutritious. I enjoy food and beverage pairing. It is interesting how certain foods and beverages together can enhance the food or alter the taste. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with loved ones, reading, crafts and aromatherapy. I'm always looking for simple recipies to keep my loved ones happy and healthy.</p>
