TACO SALAD
Back in the old days before there were chain restaurants on every corner, someone created what came to be known as Taco Salad. Amazingly, they did this without the benefit of packaged taco seasoning, Doritos and bowl-shaped taco shells. It was a smash success and, I think, is still the best.

Steps:
- Preparation: With a paring knife, remove the core from the head of lettuce, as well as any thick ribs. Wash and drain well on paper towels in the refrigerator. Pat excess water from lettuce with more paper towels. Brown the ground beef with the chili powder, cumin, garlic and oregano. Drain well. Set aside and keep at room temperature. Tear the chilled lettuce into bite-size pieces and combine in a large bowl with the beef mixture, beans, tomatoes, onion, cheese, Fritos and avocados. Toss to combine ingredients. Mix the salt and lemon juice with the mayonnaise and stir until smooth. Pour mixture over the salad and toss again. Serve at once.
TEXAS TACOS
I created this recipe by combining a bunch of taco ingredients that my kids like. Once it's ready, I often keep the beef mixture warm in a slow cooker so the kids can quickly fill taco shells after an afternoon of rigorous soccer practice. -Susan Scully, Mason, Ohio
