Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 pkg Fajita or Taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 6 cups shredded romaine lettuce
  • 1/4 cup red onion (sliced thin)
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (canned or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup red pepper strips
  • 1/4 cup black olive slices ((canned- make sure they are not Italian seasoned))
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 8" tortilla cut into fine strips (fried in oil then dusted with 1 tsp chili powder)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa

Instruction

  • Cook the ground beef over medium high heat. When browned add the seasoning package and 1 tsp vinegar. Cook another 5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat/liquid and set aside.
  • In a large bowl layer the lettuce, then the ground beef, then scatter the other toppings over the top.
  • To make the fried tortilla strips for garnish, cut an 8" tortilla into 1/4 " strips, Halve the long ones. Put oil in the bottom of a small skillet and heat it over medium high heat. There should be enough oil to just cover the tortilla strips. Test a strip- it should sizzle when you drop it in the oil. When the oil is hot add the strips and cook until they are golden brown - about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle chili powder over the hot strips.
  • Serve with the salsa/sour cream dressing on the side.
