Taco Salad

 Taco Salad

(this recipe brings back so many high school memories!  We had the best lunch ladies who made everything from scratch so many good lunch meals!  I have not been able to get Nellie's rolls, it was a family secret, but I'm thinking mine come close to being the best anyway :))

1 lb. hamburger, crumbled and cooked with 1 packet of taco seasoning  

grated cheese or cut into small cubes, cheddar/ jack 

chopped tomatoes

chopped yellow onions or green onions

1 can beans, I like black, but they usually put red beans in 

small can of sliced olives

crushed tortilla chips

Italian dressing in bottle, ( I don't have an amount) mixed with small amount of mayonnaise - mix in with salad and add tortilla chips - use the dressing as a salad dressing so don't overdo it!

Tex Mex Dip

TEX MEX DIP

(or 7 layer dip) 

(this dip came from a friend when we lived in our apartment in South Orem)

                    3/4 c. mayonnaise

                    1 pkg. Taco seasoning

                    Mix this 2nd layer together and put on top of 1st and 2nd layer

3rd layer:  guacamole (or small guacamole dip container)- to make guacamole I use 2 avocados , smash, I don't measure the rest of the ingredients because it's to your taste, lemon juice about 1 1/2tsp. can use lime juice, mayonnaise, about 1/4 c. , garlic powder, about 2 tsp.  I like garlic so I am generous, garlic salt to taste, I usually just sprinkle it over just to give it enough flavor.

4th layer:  green onions( about 3 to 4) , chopped 

5th layer:  tomatoes, chopped ( I use enough to cover layer about 2 medium ones)

6th layer:  1 can sliced olives ( or 2 small ones)

Serve with Tortilla chips and enjoy!
