Not I, said the Little Red Hen, because I have the best one going. Just
finished whipping up a batch for the next few hot nights and thought I'd
pass it on:

FELICE'S VERSION OF MADDY'S TACO SALAD

12 ounces ground chuck, browned with
1 teaspoon chili power
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 white onion, minced

1 10-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium red onion, chopped
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, diced
2 tomatoes, cored and diced
1 avocado, diced
1 small can sliced black olives, rinsed and drained
chopped fresh cilantro to taste
Thousand Island dressing to taste

Direction? You need directions? Toss everything together and serve with
tortilla chips in or on the side, or in a tortilla basket, or over lettuce,
or whatever whets your appetite.

Anyone else include other stuff in theirs? I'm open to variations.

Sounds yummy! Here's my taco salad

Brown ground beef then drain. Add 1 - 2 c water and taco seasoning.
Allow to boil down. In the meantime: chop one onion finely, chop tomato
into bite size pieces, shredded lettuce, shred cheddar cheese.

Besides this you will need: sliced green olives or black is good too,
hot sauce, homemade or storebought salsa sauce, sour cream, either soft
taco shells or tortilla chips

To assemble: Scoop seasoned ground beef onto plate, top with salsa
sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, then whatever other toppings you want.
Personally I just eat it with a fork with no chips or shells. It's a
great camp recipe and one that I make fairly often.

That's what I was thinking. Guac, yes. Sour cream, maybe. Ranch,
maybe...

I had the opposite reaction: "That's interesting. Might be worth a try!"

I like to just put salsa on for dressing.

Part of my reaction is because I don't like Thous. I. dressing - so I
am a little biased.
