Tomorrow is Friday! woooo! And if you live in Columbus, Ohio like me its also Memorial Tournament weekend which is always a party. If you're going maybe I'll see ya there! Before the craziness of the weekend begins I'd love to share with you a super quick week night recipe... my (actually Brad's) quick taco salads! I always ask him to make these (or his chimichurri steak tacos - also coming) when I fly home from New York. If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don't you should - @cuisineandcocktails) then you saw me making this dish on (taco) Tuesday in my insta stories. If you don't already follow me I regularly share step by step recipes of what's on the menu for us that day. Be sure to check it out!
For this speedy recipe you'll need ground beef, lettuce, avocado, taco sauce (Taco Bell bottles theirs - you're welcome), Doritos, shredded cheese and a spice mixture of chili powder, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper.
Brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add water and spice mixture. Stir, bring to boil and simmer until liquid has evaporated off.
Serve ground beef, avocado and cheese over lettuce. Drizzle with taco sauce and sprinkle with crushed Doritos. Enjoy my little Mexican fans!
