Taco Salad

Every week on Tuesday and Wednesday, hubby likes Taco Salad for dinner. This is a quick and easy meal and if I'm not home he will make this himself. (well, trueth be told he will most often make this when I am home too..teehee) Anyway, I found this taco shell bowl you can make yourself instead of buying the bowls already made and then half of them in the box are cracked or broken.

 

So, I found these at Walmart located in the refrigerated section where you find cream cheese and other refrigerated flour tortilla shells. A box of 4 is around a dollar.

 

The directions say to take out the cardboard form that is included in the box and lay the tortilla shell over the form and let it come to room temperature. We are usually in too big of a hurry for that so we microwave the shell over the bowl for 30 seconds and then put it in the pre-heated oven like the directions say and bake for 9 minutes or so on a cookie sheet. This particular bowl I didn't microwave long enough so it didn't form into very much of a bowl but if you do it right they do look like the picture on the box. Hubby takes the browned ground beef and then adds shredded sharp cheddar cheese, onions and tomatoes. If I had any on hand it would have been good with lettuce, black olives, sour cream and salsa too.

Another quick and easy dinner since he will take the left over ground beef and have another one the next night.
