Mexican Beef Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
  • 1 (16 ounce) bottle French dressing
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) package tortilla chips
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup prepared salsa
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to reach the optimal temperature. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until it reaches a browned and crumbly state, typically taking between 5 to 7 minutes. Remove excess grease from the skillet using a paper towel or a clean cloth, ensuring a cleaner cooking surface.
2
Introduce chili beans, French-style dressing, and seasoning mix into the skillet, stirring until well combined. To create a makeshift water reservoir, fill an empty dressing bottle 2/3 full of liquid and add it to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then gradually reduce the heat to achieve a gentle simmer for 15 minutes.
3
Transfer crushed chips from their packaging into a large bowl, utilizing your hands or a spoon to break up any clumps. Add shredded cheese and diced tomatoes to the bowl, mixing until they are evenly distributed.
4
Fill a separate container with crisp lettuce leaves. Spoon the meat mixture onto the lettuce, followed by a dollop of salsa and a sprinkle of sour cream. Serve the dish warm, relishing in its flavors and textures
