Ingredients

Chorizo & Beef Taco Salad

  • 1/2 pkg chorizo sausage
  • 1/2 lb. ground hamburger
  • 1 can pinto beans rinsed
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/2 bunch green onion
  • 1 box taco salad shells I used Fiesta Flats from Ortega
  • 1 cup mexican blend shredded cheese
  • avocado for topping, optional
  • sour cream for topping, optional

Lime-Cilantro Dressing

  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 limes
  • 1/2 cup avocado or olive oil
  • 1 sugar

Mexican Rice

  • 2 cups instant brown rice
  • 1-3/4 cup water
  • 1 cube Knorr Tomato Boullion
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chicken bouillon

Instructions

Chorizo & Beef Taco Salad

  • Add your chorizo and ground hamburger. Sprinkle the cumin and chili powder on top. Start sautéing everything together until the sausage and meat are completely cooked through and no longer pink. When cooked put the meat into a strainer to drain off.

Lime-Cilantro Dressing

  • Add all ingredients but the oil. Put the top on the food processor. Add oil into the top funnel and blend until the consistency you prefer.

Mexican Rice

  • Just add rice, water, tomato & chicken bouillons, spices then frozen veggies as you like-I use corn & peas.
  • Layer as you see fit. I prefer lettuce, meat, cheese, tomatoes, green onion then the Lime-Cilantro Dressing. Heat up some refried beans and plate the rice. Add some avocado and sour cream on top if desired. Enjoy!
