Description

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 package taco seasoning
• ½ cup water
• Toppings:
• Tomatoes, diced
• Lettuce, shredded
• Salsa, store bought or homemade
• Mexican Cheese or Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• Sour Cream, if desired
• FRITOS, whole or crushed
• Cilantro, if desired
• Optional if serving cold:
• 1 cup Italian dressing

Directions

• Cook the ground beef over medium heat until the juices run clear, making sure to break up the meat as you cook it. Brown slightly.
• Add taco seasoning and ½ cup water. Cook over medium-low heat until the water dissolves. You dont want too much juice or your taco salad will be a soggy mess.
• Chop up all your other additions and set them aside.
• Start stacking your jars, remembering to put the wet ingredients at the bottom and the dryer ingredients at the top.
• Garnish with cilantro if desired. Dont garnish until serving or it will overwhelm your salad.
• Optional if serving cold:
• If you plan to make these ahead of time and serve them cold you need to make one small adjustment. Add Italian dressing to each jar (do NOT add Fritos until just before serving so they stay fresh and crisp!), place the top on, and shake it like crazy. Pop in the fridge and allow it to work its magic.
• Add FRITOS and cilantro just before serving.
• Serve with a big old Frito-Lay loving smile!
