If you stock your pantry and fridge like I do, you probably have some shredded cheese in the fridge or freezer, salsa, a can of olives, and a partially full container of sour cream. I think most people (not usually me) also have ground beef around, in the freezer or fridge, and lettuce is pretty common too.

So throw them all together into a quick taco salad one night. You can use a taco seasoning mix, like I did, or make your own.

The reason I’m writing about taco salad though, is not because you wouldn’t think of making taco salad, but because I think the way you layer the ingredients is kind of important.

PERSONALLY, I have the lettuce on the bottom, then the cheese must go under the beef. This is because the hot meat will make the cheese melty. Mmm. What could be better?

So, so far we have lettuce, cheese, beef. Then comes the sauce type stuff… sour cream and salsa (or fresh tomatoes). Then, sprinkle the olives, because they’re pretty.

If I’m eating it with tortilla chips, I like them on the side, so I can scoop with them and they stay crispy. The man likes his chips on the bottom, so they get soggy and he can eat them with a fork.

How do YOU layer your taco salad ingredients?
