Easy Taco Salad

  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 small bag of regular Frito's (10 oz)
  • 1 taco seasoning packet
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lbs of ground meat
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 1 small bottle of french dressing or 3/4 large bottle
  • 1/4 cup chopped purple onion (optional)

You can use low fat cheese, lean ground meat, and light dressing; however, I would not recommend fat free.
FYI, do not refrigerate. It get's all soggy. So, make sure you have lot's of company :)

Place your chopped lettuce in a LARGE mixing bowl, add the cheese, and Frito's. Set aside. In a medium skillet, brown your ground meat, drain. Add your taco packet and water to the ground meat and heat until it thickens. You may need to add a little bit more water. Add the HOT meat mixture to the lettuce and mix well. Add your dressing and onion. Mix until combined. If you like less dressing, use a smaller bottle. Enjoy!
