Joy's Taco Salad

"This is one of those 'some of this and some of that' recipes. I call this garbage salad because when traveling to a picnic I carry it in a medium (untreated) trash bag, and fill a container when there! You can substitute fresh jalapenos for the canned green chiles, if you like."
Original recipe yield: 12 servings.

Answer 2

It's called Taco Salad. Just make a big green salad with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and any other vegetables you like. Add cooled taco meat, shredded cheddar cheese and fritos. Dress with Catalina dressing. Catalina is a sweet French dressing.
