Tired Mama Taco Salad

Ever have one of those weeks where there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished that needs to be done?
That describes this week in our house.
Monday night we were supposed to have tacos.
Instead we opted for a taco salad of sorts that was a smashing success.
The key ingredient:
DORITOS
If Taco Bell can do taco shells made of Doritos, why not taco salad?
(In my opinion, this taco salad was better than the Doritos Tacos, but that's me...)
Ingredients:
1 family size bag of Doritos
shredded lettuce
1 1/2 lbs ground beef, browned & drained
(taco seasoning for ground beef, if desired)
white corn
salsa
fresh tomato salsa (onion, cilantro, jalapeno, and tomato)
chunky prepared salsa
shredded colby blend cheese
guacamole
*sour cream*
Directions:
1. Brown ground beef and drain. Season with taco seasoning if desired.
2. Steam corn until thoroughly heated.
3. Layer taco salad with ingredients as desired.
4. Enjoy!
Hint: Don't forget the sour cream - we did! Not everyone likes sour cream, not everyone likes guacamole - but that's what is great about this meal. Each person can pick and choose what ingredients they want to include. A good meal for fostering independence! No leftovers makes for an easy clean-up too!! Another tip is to skip the taco seasoning in the ground beef. There is enough seasoning on the Doritos and in the salsas to make it up - it wasn't missed at our house!

Ooey Gooey Chicken *Nachos*


We mixed it up a bit last night and served our Ooey Gooey Chicken as nachos for dinner.

The chicken filling served over restaurant style tortilla chips - topped with guacamole, sour cream, and extra cheese. Delicious!

Fish Tacos



Fish Tacos:

I keep seeing recipes for fish tacos...Foodie shows featuring fish tacos...I think I've even seen a couple in my dreams! Tonight fish & chips was the dinner menu...so I twisted it a bit and made this super yummy, super filling, SUPER easy Fish Tacos. Go ahead, try some!!

Adjust quantities needed for the crowd size you are feeding. (I made myself 2 tacos...and still have 1 left over.)

-fajita size flour tortillas, slightly warmed
-sliced deli white American cheese
-baked crunchy battered fish fillets
-prepared salad mix - (iceberg lettuce with carrots)
-sliced black olives
-guacamole

This would be a great dish to serve on a taco bar, that way every one can pick the toppings or ingredients they prefer.

So, so good!
