Taco Salad
 
We make ours like this (or variations, depending on what we have on hand.)

Lettuce
Kidney Beans (rinsed and drained)
Grated cheddar (or any cheese you prefer)
Fritos
Catalina Dressing


Etras or variations can include

jalapenos
hamburger meat seasoned with taco spices
garbanzo beans
ranch style beans
tomatoes
salsa

Easy and a favorite in my house!

I'd prefer primarily lettuce and veggies, with salsa as dressing, plus a bit of meat and sour cream, with tortilla strips to add a crunch, but I'm finishing up one that was like a giant bowl of chili with a hint of lettuce and veggies.
It is hard to find a decent taco salad at restaurants. When I make one at home I put all my favorite and fresh ingredients in it. I hate the taco salads at fast food restaurants, they just aren't tasty and I find them too calorie laden for me. Mi Cocina in the DFW area has a salad called a Rico salad that has a good base of lettuce, fajita meat, tortilla strips, tomatoes, onion and avocado which comes with your choice of dressings. I don't know if you would exactly call it a taco salad since it comes in a bowl instead of a taco shell bowl but it is close enough for me.

I'm thinking I'm going to have taco salads for dinner one evening this week. :D Lots of lettuce and veggies, and some cheese, meat, sour cream, and tortillas. :)

Taco Salads can be a low fat, healthy meal.. but on the go, I can only cross my fingers, and hope that its good for the body..

Picked up the fixings for taco salad while grocery shopping today. I think that will be dinner on Tuesday evening.
