Taco Salad

Most excellent in the summer and nicely complemented by margaritas or chips and guacamole.

Ingredients

• 2 C sour cream
• 4 ripe avocadoes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• salt
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 1/2 heads of lettuce (chopped/torn for for a salad)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 8-16 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
• bag of Doritos, classic
• your favorite salsa

Directions

Cut up 3 ripe avocados and mash with 2 cups of sour cream and a teaspoon of garlic powder. Add a bit of salt if you like. Set in the fridge until ready to use. Dip chips in it and eat some cause it is really good….

Brown 1 lb. of ground beef and add a package of taco seasoning (follow directions on package)

In a big bowl, toss 1 ½ heads of lettuce, medium chopped onion, 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 can of drained and rinsed kidney beans, shredded cheddar cheese and one or two chopped avocados.

Add the cooled meat and toss again… add the guacamole dressing and half a bag of crushed Doritos… toss again and serve with salsa and rest of Doritos.

I recommend refrigerating this dish and letting the flavors mingle for a while. I usually serve it slightly cool with fresh Doritos on the side.
