Make-Your-Own-Taco-Salad Bar

Recipe #241987 | 30 min | 30 min prep | SERVES 8 -12 , 1 salad (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Debber

Fill those little compartments on the Tupperware Serving Center with some or all of these ingredients. Diners make-their-own salad--and no one has to pick out the stuff they don't like! Great to take along on a picnic or tailgate party or potluck, too. See Perfectly Seasoned Taco Meat for directions in how to prepare the BEST-EVER (and easy) Taco Meat. Measurements given here are APPROXIMATE...make enough to comfortably fill the compartments on the Serving Center.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) bag lettuce, bite size
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag tortilla chips (plain or flavored)
  • cups sour cream
  • 3-6 green onion, sliced (tops included)
  • 1 1/2 cups guacamole, sauce
  • cup black olive, sliced
  • 1-2 cup tomato, deseeded, diced
  • cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • cups salsa, sauce (or picante)
  • 2-3 cups taco meat, seasoned
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Dump lettuce in a large serving bowl (or the lid of Tupperware Serving Center).
    2. 2
      Dump chips in another serving bowl (or the lid of the Serving Center if you didn't put the lettuce in it).
    3. 3
      Mix sour cream and green onion slices; place in center compartment of serving center.
    4. 4
      Place each of remaining ingredients (except chips) into one compartment of the serving center--being artistic in your arrangement so the colors look "nice."
    5. 5
      BRIGHT IDEA #1: Heat up a can of refried beans, slather some on a burrito skin, and use to wrap around a hard-taco shell, then fill shell with fav ingredients--it won't crack!
    6. 6
      BRIGHT IDEA #2: Mix everything up in a bowl, drizzle with Western Salad Dressing, and call it Western Taco Salad.
