Taco Tuesday!

Welcome back friends! Guess what today is? Taco Tuesday!
Yes, we've decided in our house that Tuesday is designated Taco Salad night, we love it that much.
What's the deal with Taco Salad you ask? Well, let me tell you. It's just the best stuff ever! Plus, it's way easy.
Of course we ate it before thinking about taking pictures, and I don't think a shot of my empty plate would convey the tastiness of it all.
So.. I found this recipe and picture. It's pretty much how we do ours, but of course ours is better :)

The basic recipe can be found here.  We switched it up a bit to suit us. We use ground turkey and add in a can of red beans with the taco seasoning. Some people serve this salad all mixed up in one big bowl. That's too messy for me. I'd rather have a buffet style/build your own taco salad station, with all the ingredients available to add in as you wish. (I try to avoid olives, yuck, while others ~Aimee~ can eat the entire can, she loves them so much)
Of course the magic ingredient is Doritos. I like to take a big handful and smash them on the plate first (or big bowl. Does that count as piggy when it's a "salad"??) then load on all the lettuce, meat and toppings. Followed with Catalina dressing, the 2nd magic ingredient. I don't eat Catalina regularly on a salad, but somehow, it's the perfect thing mixed with the Doritos.. Dang! This is making me hungry! Even though I just had some! Seriously, it's that tasty. You gotta try it.

So..Does your family have a version of Taco Salad? Do you have Taco Tuesday, or another rhyming food day? Let me know. I'm currently thinking about something like Around the World Wednesday or New Recipe Day to actually try some of the million recipes I've pinned on Pinterest.
Join in! Or comment on facebook. I've love to hear your ideas.

It's been a while since I've shared anything, huh?
Well, as you know, my fabulous niece Aimee moved in with me, and we've been busy playing tourist and seeing all sorts of shows on the Las Vegas Strip. We've done all sorts of fun things I've been meaning to share, but haven't gotten around to posting. Fun! So stay tuned!  :)
