I would never put potato products like that in the microwave. The only ones I would do that way would be the ones intended for the microwave. In reality, I wouldn't do those either because nobody in this house likes them. I do not like deep fried foods in general. I have eaten Tater Tots that were fried and they did not taste as good to me as what I make at home in the oven. I would think it would be pretty hard to mess up Tater Tots but Sharis restaurant did it. |

Understood:)) So, does a taco salad have set ingredients (which > define it as a taco salad)? Tacos don't even have set ingredients. But in general there is a protein such as meat, fish or beans, lettuce and tomato. Sometimes cheese. Sometimes cabbage or coleslaw. Sometimes just pico de gallo. Depends on where you get it. The taco salad if served in a shell will have a dab of beans on the plate to stick the shell down to. And often more beans in the bottom. It will almost always have lettuce and tomato. Some form of meat. Usually steak, chicken or seasoned ground beef. Cheese, olives, tomatoes, salsa, and often sour cream and guacamole. I put sliced green onions and cilantro on mine. Sometimes also topped with tortilla chips but usually not served in a shell if it has those. Some places here serve them with pita bread which seems weird to me. |
