For summer meals I do as little cooking as possible. That means dinner salads
are often on the menu. This one is a take-off on taco salads, but rather than
buy taco salad shells, we just use tortilla chips. I lay out
the prepared ingredients, and everyone builds theirs to taste. It's an easy to make
summer favorite.
Nacho Salad
- Ground meat or leftover chicken seasoned with taco seasoning (I brown mine with chopped onions and bell peppers.)
- Chili beans
- Chopped lettuce
- Grated cheese
- Chopped tomatoes
- Chopped avocado
- Tortilla chips
- Sauce: mine is ricotta cheese blended with salsa to taste
Start with the chips as the bottom layer and add ingredients to taste. Top
with sauce and enjoy!
Recipe notes:
- Obviously you can use any ingredients you want, these are just our favorites.
- For the sauce, sour cream or cream cheese could be substituted for the ricotta cheese. I use it because I make it from the leftover whey every time I make my goat milk cheeses.
