Sounds like a great night for taco salads!
I have stopped deep frying my shells for salads. Instead, I give them a light
coating of vegetable oil and drape them over a small stainless steel work bowl.
Into the oven at 400F for ten minutes. They come out crispy and ready for filling
without the mess and the calories of deep frying.
Brown ground beef and season with my favorite Taco Seasoning mix.

Fill taco bowl with lettuces of your choice. I prefer shredded romaine. Top with tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Add anything extra you like. Black olives make a nice topping along with fresh finely minced cilantro. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and a salsa of your choice.
Raff decided he doesn't like taco salad...just going to stay in the sun and enjoy a quick nap |

What do you use for the shell? And that is a beautiful cat!
Lucia....I use a 10" flour burrito shell. They are usually packed 10 or so in the Mexican food section.
Thank You!
Made this last night for dinner! Yum! Opted for Nacho chips in place of the burritto shell... maybe next time.
