Frito Fiesta Salad

I love browsing through blogs seeing what recipes other people are fixing and enjoying. I spend way to much time doing this, but I've found some really great blogs with food I can't wait to try. Last week I came across a great blog Gather Round Our Table and printed a huge stack of recipes. Frito Fiesta Salad sounded right up our alley. Boy, I'm glad I tried this one. It's excellent! You can even use the leftover meat sauce to make a completely different meal. Warm it in a skillet with cooked ice. Sprinkle with cheese and continue heating until the cheese is melted. Including chips, this great meal comes in under $1.50 per serving. I can't wait to make this one again!
