Lazy Boy "Taco" Salad


Though i'd like to think that all my lovely readers are busy cooking in the kitchen every night just whipping up all my recipes - I know that my 3 hour long homemade spinach pappardelle bolognese cannot be a dish whipped up on any ol' tuesday night.  For this reason, i've decided to provide you all with a super lazy version of a taco salad that can be made in under 30 minutes.  It's quick - it's easy - it tastes good - and sometimes that is all you need!


Ingredients: (serves 2)
1 lb lean ground beef (you can also substitute turkey or chicken)
1 package old el paso seasoning mix
1/2 head iceberg lettuce (washed and chopped)
1 tomato (diced)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 handfuls blue corn chips
EVOO
white vinegar
salt
jalapeno peppers (optional)


Begin by cooking your meat with your seasoning mix (follow the instructions on the back of the package).

In a large bowl, toss together your lettuce and tomatoes and dress with a couple dashes of EVOO, white vinegar and a pinch of salt.  mix well.

Plate your salad and top with the seasoned ground meat.  Top with cheese and jalapenos and either line the bowl with the chips, or crumble them right on top of the salad.

Serve & Enjoy!
