TYRA'S TACO SALAD
TYRA'S TACO SALAD
Tyra's Taco Salad is going on my "MUST MAKE AGAIN' list. I made it for lunch today and if anyone has missed Taco Bell, this beats even their taco salad! I am including the recipe below for those of you who do not have the recipe cards.
==========================================================
TYRA'S TACO SALAD
1/2 lb. lean ground sirloin
1/2 lb. ground turkey breast (skinless)
1 package taco seasoning mix (Old El Paso)
2 cups or more chopped lettuce
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1/2 c. chopped onion (optional)
1 can refried beans (Old El Paso)
Brown beef & turkey. Add seasoning mix & cook as package suggests.
On a large plate, layer heated refried beans, then lettuce, cooked mixture, onions, tomatoes and top with Danita's Salsa.
(also try chicken)
============================================================
Notes: I used Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans and Tostitos Chunky Salsa. Danita's Salsa is another laminated card recipe, but I didn't make because I love the Tostitos brand.

Re: TYRA'S TACO SALAD
This was very good. It satisfied me and I easily lasted until dinner with no snacking. I also thawed some taco soup that was in the freezer from the last time I made it. I had a whole Mexican fiesta!

Re: TYRA'S TACO SALAD
Gene,
i know what Mary would tell me -- no sugar. This recipe is one of the recipe cards that I received when I ordered the latest "Let's Do Lunch" red book and it calls for using El Paso taco seasoning mix. I looked this morning at a packet I have and discovered it contains sugar, which is a no-no. I didn't think to read the ingredients when I bought the seasoning mix because I thought if it was stated on the recipe card it would be o.k.
I am finding that there are several recipes that I have made from the recipe cards that state a certain brand to use, and then find out that they are not acceptable. For example, on the Danita's Three Bean Salad Delight it states to use Bush's kidney beans, drained. I found out from Mary that Bush's kidney beans have sugar added and I should not be using them. I am trying to follow LDL, but am running into obstacles when making lunch using the recipe cards. I guess from now on it's "read the ingredients" always!
Thanks for your help.

Re: TYRA'S TACO SALAD
I'm making taco salad when I get home from work. I was browning some sirloin/ground turkey with onion and garlic. I used some for the spaghetti squash that I made. I reserved half for a taco salad. So it's just a matter of compiling the ingredients. I'm making my evening smoothie, only this time I'm adding fresh spinach. Yum!
