Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large tomato (diced)
  • 1 head lettuce (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup salsa (homemade or store bought)
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (if desired)
  • 1 cup FRITOS (whole or crushed)
  • fresh cilantro (if desired)
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing

Instruction

  • Cook the ground beef in a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat until the juices run clear, making sure to break up the meat as you cook it. Brown slightly.
  • Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium-low heat until the water dissolves. You don't want too much juice or your taco salad will be a soggy mess.
  • Chop up all your other additions and set them aside.
  • Start stacking your jars, remembering to put the wet ingredients at the bottom and the dry ingredients at the top.
  • Top with full or crushed Fritos.
  • Garnish with cilantro if desired. Don't garnish until serving or it will overwhelm your salad.
