I have made a meal many times out of taco salad. Sounds like I will do it again soon. Thanks, PRH

I love taco salads! Salas is a staple at our house.

This isn't a snack but more of a meal.
Have you ever made a "Mexican Pie"? I use to make these a lot but since I don't eat much meat anymore I haven't made on in a while.
Brown ground beef with chopped onions, cilantro & peppers. ( a blend of Cubanellas, sweet red & green peppers is really good) Drain fat well. Add a can of drained tomatoes ( if you like spicy use Rotel, if not using rotel add 1 pkg of taco seasoning mix)
Add 1 cup of shreded cheddar cheese, 1 egg and 1/4 cup mayo (mixed together before adding) to beef mix.
roll out a can of crescent rolls and divide into 1/4 and 3/4.
line a pie plate with the 3/4 portion.

Spoon the beef mix in the lined pie dish. using the 1/4 of dough cut strips like you would for a lattice pie topping. Brush the top with egg wash and bake about 20-30 minutes at 325. Serve with a salad.

I think I willmake a couple of these for the oyster roast tomorrow.

I love Taco salad as well...Often I make a large batch of just the meat and taco seasoning and keep refigerated. When we want a Taco Salad, make a regular salad then add the warmed up meat mix on top....
