Taco Salad

Head lettuce (consider 1/4 head per person)
Ground beef (consider 1/4 lb per person)
Chili powder, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning, ground cumin
Onion
Tomato
Avacado
French dressing
Tortilla chips
Shredded cheddar cheese

Dice onion and saute in a bit of oil.
Brown the ground beef in with the onion.
Add about 1/2 tsp each of the seasonings while browning.
Slice up enough of the lettuce head for the number of people.
Dice the tomato and the avacado.
Mix the salad and add the ground beef mixture.
Add about 1-2 TBS of French dressing.
Crumble up torilla chips and mix well.
(I used Dorito Spicey Tortilla Chips.)
Shred some cheddar on top for effect.

I got this recipe from Ted Harris and below is what he sent me. It serves about six people.

one lb. ground beef
one head iceberg lettuce shredded
4 tomatoes
one onion, chopped
1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese
one, 1-lb can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 bag nacho , taco or tortilla ships
one bottle French dressing

Saute beef until brown, drain well and let cool while preparing other ingredients.
Toss meat with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cheese, beans.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Toss with salad dressing.
Crush chips and add to salad. Toss again.
Serve immediately so chips don't get soggy.
