Hello and welcome to Taco Salad Corner. This is your host Heidi and I have yet ANOTHER taco salad dish to share with you today!!! What's with all the taco salad-ish recipes I've been posting? What can I say... we enjoy the flavor of tacos. In the past few months I have posted Soft Taco Burgers, Mini Fajita Salad Bites, Brown Bag Burritos, Taco Joes, Frito Fiesta Salad, Taco Salad, Beef Taco Skillet, Crunchy Burritos, Enchiladas El Paso, Blue-Ribbon Beef Nachos, Brad's Burrito Bake and Pinto Bean Casserole. Some of these recipes many of you probably don't remember, or simply didn't visit my site yet. While all of them were very good, if you're looking for the most tried-and-true you must go back and click the Blue-Ribbon Beef Nachos. I've been making them for many years and they're always and tasty treat. I do believe they're going on the menu for next week because we haven't had them in a while. They sound good :) Brad's Burrito Bake's also sounding very yummy right now. Choices... so many yummy taco-flavored choices. Speaking of choices, Shoebox Taco Salad's a great one too. I stumbled upon Recipe Shoebox a few weeks ago and have already made several great recipes from the site. If you haven't already, click on over and visit Lara and her yummy recipes. I chose this recipe because it's similar to one of Brads all-time favorites, Taco Pasta Salad. I will post the recipe for it soon. Enjoy all the taco-y goodness :)SHOEBOX TACO SALAD
1 lb. ground beef or turkey
1 - 1 1/2 packets of taco seasoning (depending on how spicy you like it)
1 diced onion
1 can black bean, rinsed and drained
1 cup Catalina dressing
Chopped lettuce
Tortilla chips (Doritos or corn chips work well too)
Topping of your choice (tomato, sour cream, shredded cheese, guacamole, green peppers)
Brown meat with onion and drain. Add 3/4 cup water and taco seasoning. Simmer 5 minutes. Add beans and dressing to desired consistency (Start with 1/2 cup and then add more if needed). Taste to see if you need more seasoning. Simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with lettuce, chips and toppings.
*I would like to thank Marin for giving me another meme award. I won't bore you with all my details again since I just did a few days again, but I feel honored Marin thought of passing the award on to me. Thanks Marin :P Visit Marin at Marin's Creations for great recipes (I love the chocolate cake in a coffee mug!)

I am trying to think of a good Cinco de Mayo recipe to post but today I am going Jamaican!
Have a great weekend!
(Just a quick laugh... I had my volume up when opening your page this morning. "If I Knew You Were Coming..." was playing and it switched to a different song when I looked at an older post. My son (2 years old) comes running up to me yelling, "Mama, no! I want the bake a cake song back!" Apparently he's a fan! :) )
