Its still so hot and miserable........I'm sure all of you in Portland and Seattle are really sick of hearing about this heat!! Oh, well. Its so strange that the only things I am hungry for are sweets. I would love to bake a cake or pie with fresh fruit but hate to turn on the oven. Today decided on taco salad.......one of my favorites. I make mine a bit different than most places I have eaten it.
I brown my burger and add lots of chili powder and salt and cumin. When browned I add a can of drained kidney beans.........put a lid on and just let sit til ready. I make a basic salad in a nice wooden salad bowl.........chopped lettuce, red onion, grape tomatoes cut in half, some whole black olives and grated jack cheese. When ready I crush purchased tortilla chips. So, in my bowl I put the salad, the cheese and dump the hamburger and beans and crushed chips on top. Mix it up well and instead of salsa I like an Italian type salad dressing.......just the right tang. Now, I keep all of these things separate because Bob doesn't do the salad thing..........he warms some tortillas for a bit on top of the hamburger bean mixture.........then he fills the tortilla with the burger mix, cheese and salad on top........then a little salsa. Basically its just a taco but he thinks it is really special and so proud of himself........cause he's not really eating a salad!.......same thing.......sigh.
