Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Brown & drain the ground beef.
Step #2 Set aside on a paper towel to continue draining & cooling.
Step #3 Dressing: Mix the can of undrained chili beans, the thousand island dressing & the taco seasoning in a bowl.
Step #4 Stir well & set it to the side.
Step #5 (Makes a mean dip for that open bag of tortilla chips you have sitting there! You are cooking dinner, you must be slightly hungry!) Obtain a LARGE bowl.
Step #6 In that bowl place the following: 1 head of torn lettuce, the shredded cheese, sliced tomatoes & olives.
Step #7 Put the hamburger on top of the salad mixings.
Step #8 Find a small child, or a small child at heart & place a slit in the chip bag to avoid a disastrous explosion.
Step #9 Have child smush chips to small pieces.
Step #10 I am sure that "smush" is a highly scientific culinary term! DO NOT MAKE CHIP POWDER, just small pieces.
Step #11 Dump the chips on top of the lettuce mixture.
Step #12 Pour the DRESSING on top of lettuce mixture.
Step #13 Mix well & enjoy.
Step #14 This is where you add the avocado if you are so inclined.
Step #15 Leftovers may be stored in airtight container in the fridge in order to create a congealed "taco salad mess" the next day.
Step #16 Not pretty but quite tasty.
