Taco Salad

As you can see I am updating my blog after almost a year of not posting. I have several recipes and pics that that have been taken in the mean time and ready to be tasted by my viewers. With that said, there is nothing better in the summer (or anytime) than a hearty taco salad! This is my mom's recipe and it reminds me of every fourth of July party at my grandparents house when ~55 people trek in for the annual chicken BBQ. It's really easy to make and the best is you can prepare it all ahead of time!

1 head of lettuce - chopped in small pieces
2 tomatoes - diced
1/2 onion - diced
3/4 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound hamburger
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 bag nacho cheese Doritos chips - smash the whole bag (it's fun doing this in the store and watching peoples reactions)
1 bottle of creamy Russian dressing (if you can't find creamy Russian, you can use Thousand Islands, but I think the creamy Russian is a lot better)

1) Prepare the lettuce, tomatoes, onion in small containers
2) Fry the hamburger, drain, season and cool
3) Just before serving: mix the ingredients and the dressing in large bowl, add crushed Doritos on top

Vegetarian? Skip the hamburger of course!
