Taco salad. I had a digital coupon for 50 cents off Old El Paso shredded cheese, and another coupon to get a free packet of any Old El Paso seasoning with the purchase of the cheese. So I bought that Friday and took some 80% lean ground beef out of the freezer. I already had plenty of lettuce and Doritos and threw it together today.
No recipe, but I used a whole head of lettuce, a pound of meat with
spicy taco seasoning, 4-cheese blend, plenty of salsa, and creamy French dressing (the only kind I have open). I don't think the salsa sticks very well without salad dressing. I no longer own a salad bowl so I mixed it all together in my biggest mixing bowl. When I put it my serving bowl I layered it with broken nacho cheese Dortitos. They would have disintegrated if they sat in the salad overnight so I didn't put them in. I don't care how beat up the lettuce is from stirring the rest of the stuff in. It has plenty of crunch and it will tomorrow too. Tomatoes wouldn't have fared well even if I had any.
A head of lettuce weighs about 19 ounces, so by the time I threw away the outermost leaf, a few small spots, and the core, it was nearly the same weight as the ground beef. Roughly 40% lettuce, 40% ground beef, and 20% cheese.
No vegetarian salad for me, but I'll add fresh lettuce tomorrow. I might get my salad up to 50% vegetation.
In a while I'm going to wipe out the frying pan with a "scratchy pad" that has more holes in it than a slice of Swiss cheese. When they quit working I use them like a dish cloth, and at this point I'm not scrubbing anything with it. But it's had all it could take and it's going out to the curb tonight.
