Quick Taco Salad

I really need to get on the ball with this blog.
*
That being said, I'm going to post some recipes that have gotten me through this week.
*
One is my HUGE BOWL of Taco Salad for 6.
*
1 1/2 lbs of ground beef
1 large onion minced
1 bag of shredded cabbage
1 cup frozen corn
chopped bell pepper
taco seasoning mix to taste
salt to taste
chopped scallions
salsa
shredded cheddar and jack cheese
***
Brown ground beef, drain fat, add onions, peppers, frozen corn and cabbage and taco seasoning mix
and cook until cabbage is just wilted.
Place in a large shallow bowl.
Add a layer of salsa
Add a layer of cheese,
top with green scallions...
DIG IN!
***
The cabbage stretches the meat, and gives it all a great crunch.
Shredded cabbage is almost always used in Mexico for tacos instead of lettuce.
It's much more nutritious and is cheaper than lettuce, and required less
pesticide when growing.
