I'd like to share with you today one of our favorite dishes - Taco Salad. After all, we don't cook very fancy here at Note Songs. :) This is a really simple dish, but it will make your tiny tummy very happy!
I don't use a recipe so you can adjust accordingly to your family.
Chop enough lettuce for each serving. Or if your lazy you can buy the shredded lettuce at the grocery store and just open the bag. :)
Chop enough tomatoes and onions for each serving.
We like guacamole on ours so take the goody out of the avocado. Cut into the avocado and run your knife around the entire thing. It should pop open and then just remove the goody. Mush all of the goody up with a fork, adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, diced onions and a smidge of picante sauce. Continue to mush up all the ingredients and then add some lemon or lime juice so it will keep its pretty greenness.
Set this all aside and fry up your hamburger meat ~ adding salt and pepper to taste. Pour off the excess grease and add some onions and cilantro.
Put some fritos on your plates, then the lettuce, the hamburger meat and tomatoes. Add the guacamole to the top and some sour cream if you like, then top off with shredded cheese.
We use Catalina dressing as our dressing.
That's it and it's very yummy!

Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Speedy Gonzales
Spoken: It was a moonlit night in old Mexico.
I walked alone between some old
adobe haciendas.
Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl.
(female voice singing a series of "La-la-la's)
You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall
Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
Spoken in a male Mexican accent:
Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
for my mudder-
she needs some tortillas and chili peppers.
(female voice singing a series of "La-la-la's)
Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here
Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
Spoken in a male Mexican accent:
Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina
they giving green stamps with tequila!!
(female voice singing a series of "La-la-la's)
(female voice singing a series of "Ya-ya-ya's)

Your taco salad looks just as good as the one I made last night. Instead of Fritos I used the Cheez-It Duoz (zesty + cheddar). Pretty tasty!! We like to add in olives and carrots sometimes too.
ReplyDeleteYummy! Looks delish!!! :D Jewel
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! I love taco salad, but haven't had avocado on mine, I must try this!

ReplyDeleteHello Sheila, I make taco salad very much like you. I use kidney beans, otherwise it is the same. I put dry taco seasoning in the hamburger. I love guacamole but I have never made it. I can do what you did. Why did I think it was so hard??? We use the same dressing too. I LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing your recipe (so to speak) HA!
ReplyDeleteI hope things are going well with your daughter. She is still in my prayers.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I just have to know...enquiring minds NEED to know....do you play all of the Note Songs you leave us with here on your piano??? How long have you been playing the piano? Do you play any other instruments? Do your kids or Mr. Precious? Do you sing? Ok....the interview is over...hope you can answer to the best of your ability my pertinent questions!! Ha ha
ReplyDeleteI like your guacamole recipe!
ReplyDeleteSounds real good to me, Shelia. I gotta have me some onions, black olives, and some hot salsa... arriba, arriba!!! Bad Speedy Gonzales for chasing that floozie, Flo... haha
ReplyDeletehugs, Sue
Hi Shelia, I just saw your note at the back porch. I went immediately and deleted that account and all other yahoo accounts and started another. I hope that helps some. I had changed my password several times, since Wednesday night, to no avail. I have a new yahoo account, but won't put it on the blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. I did not get one of those, again. I had one the other day, in another e-mail account, it was from myself to myself, because the other e-mail was in the yahoo addy book. Crazy!!!
LOVE taco salad and LOVE guac...lots and lots of guac pretty please!!!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the perfect songs!
Love to you,
Sue
I love Mexican food. I made a Mexican casserole last week and it was so simple. And so yummy!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Good evening Shelia, Your taco salad looks delicious! I have never tried the catalina dressing either but it sounds great. I hope you are having a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, thank you so much for your continued prayers for my hubby, Kevin. He is feeling pretty good! We are just waiting on the news about the "mass". We really feel like everything will be ok. It's all in God's hands...
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter is doing well. I am keeping her and the baby in my thoughts and prayers too.
Your taco salad looks delicous! I never fix that, but I think I'll put that on my grocery list for next week. Have a wonderful Sunday! Kristen
Hi Mrs. Shelia! Just wanted to say thanks for the prayers for Mrs. Jane. She is doing very well today!
ReplyDeleteA recipe based on fritos! My daughter will love it, minus all the veggies of course. I chopped up zuchinni really small into the pasta sauce tonight. She still managed to eat around it.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
Oh my gosh, Shelia - that's a favorite in our house, too!! I never thought about adding avocado/guacamole to it though!!! Oooh la la - that will make it even better!!... Donna
ReplyDeleteShelia, please come to my blog!!!!!
ReplyDeletePurple Goat Lady

I always have loved taco anything!! Nowadays I have to use beans instead of the meat and no cheese! BUT it still tastes great. I love the backgound material you used in the photo shot!
ReplyDeleteShelia, I hope our girl is doing better and that all is well with babykins. Thinking of you all...
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Yum Shelia, taco salad is one of our favorites around here, a perfect fall recipe. Yours looks delicious.

This looks yummy, Shelia! I love taco salad. I'll have to try it with catalina dressing. We've always used Italian dressing in the past.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
ReplyDeleteI am hungery and looking at your blog gave me a great idea for lunch! Thanks.
-Angela
Hi Sheilia
ReplyDeleteOh how yummy. I love salads like this. Once I'm off my little special diet I will definately give this a try...only because my present way of eating isn't allowing me to eat certain foods including avacado so I'll just hold on.
Thank you for sharing.
Judi
That looks yummy! I have to avoid the guacamole - I'm allergic to avocados!
ReplyDeleteManuela
That looks sooooo good. I'd like a big plate of that right now. I just might have to whip one of those up for my dinner. Anything with Fritos can't be bad!!!
