Taco Salads

by Carrie on June 7, 2013

WC-Recipe-Swap-badge-1This theme was Mexican dishes. I couldn’t pass it up no doubt about it it is my favorite dish. I was excited when I got my recipe which was from Amy’s Kitchen Creation. Amy and I live about an hour away from each other and were actually having lunch when I received the email with my choice. Small world. I was even more excited when I saw the recipe. I have had these “taco salads” before but using Doritos. I was excited to try it with fritos.

It was delicious and a fun different take on normal taco salads.

  • 1 lb cooked, drained ground beef
  • 4 servings of cooked instant white rice
  • Fritos chips

Your favorite toppings such as:

  • Shredded Lettuce
  • Shredded Cheese
  • Salsa
  • Sour Cream
  • Guacamole

Cook your ground beef and drain when cooked.  While the ground beef is browning, cook your rice. When both your ground beef and rice are cooked, assemble your plate (or bowl if you choose!)  I started with rice, added some fritos, ground beef and then my lettuce, cheese and sour cream.

Mix it all up, add some salsa and enjoy!!

No bake Nutella Pretzel Cookies

Secret Recipe Club

I had a blast browsing Rhondas Blog The Kitchen Witch. I kept searching for the perfect recipe. But I kept going back to the nutella no bake cookies. I loved that there was no heating of the oven, it was everything I already had in the pantry and Maddy could help make them as they were simple. Oh and no eggs so I didn’t care how much dough she ate.

These were so simple to make. I halved the recipe as I didn’t need 2 dozen cookies sitting around but they were gobbled up quickly.
