Youth Group Snacks – Taco Salad

Taco Salad’s are a favorite with most youth groups. It’s fun to make and they are quick and easy. Our youth group frequently requested Taco Salads when we would gather for teen night.

Things You’ll Need:

1 lb. of hamburger (turkey can be substituted)
Taco Bell Taco Seasoning Packet
1 cup of water
Cool Ranch Doritos
Kraft Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Salsa
Sour Cream
Black Olives (optional)
Onions (optional)
Kraft Ranch Dressing (optional)
Anyone can make this Taco Salad Recipe.

In a skillet, brown your hamburger or ground turkey. Drain off any excess grease and return to the pan.

To the burger, add 1 cup of water and Taco Seasoning packet.  Mix well and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Put a layer of Cool Ranch Doritos on your plate. In the center of the Doritos, put a scoop of taco meat. Put as much or as little as you like (just make sure you have enough for everyone).

Next, put a layer of cheese over the Taco burger. The amount is up to your taste.

Chop your lettuce and slice your tomatoes. Add as much of each to your salad.

Top with a sprinkle more of cheese. If you like, add olives, onions, salsa and sour cream.

Variations:
1. After your layer of Taco meat, add some guacamole then top with lettuce, tomatoes and the rest of your toppings.
2. For a slightly different twist, use Kraft Ranch dressing instead of the salsa and sour cream.
