7 LAYER TACO SALAD
I got this from a former co-worker over 20 years ago. It is a huge hit each and every time I make it. You can make all kinds of changes/additions to make it your own. Add a layer of guacamole or change the meat to refried beans for the vegans. Use ground turkey/chicken for the heart healthy. Use the hot taco seasoning if you like...

Steps:
- 1. Mix softened cream cheese with sour cream and 1 package of taco seasoning until smooth. Place on bottom of large, deep container.(Resist the urge to use low fat sour cream, too runny)
- 2. Prepare ground beef and 1 package of taco seasoning as per package instructions. Drain and spread over layer one.
- 3. 3rd layer: Spread chopped lettuce over meat.
- 4. 4th layer: Chopped onions.
- 5. 5th layer: Chopped tomatoes (I use fresh, has better flavor and you CAN taste the difference).
- 6. 6th layer: Jalapeno peppers if desired. Dependent upon who the audience is, I will either finely chop them or just slice and layer them.
- 7. 7th layer: Spread cheese all over the top.
- 8. Refrigerate over night preferably to allow the flavors to meld.
- 9. When ready to serve, allow to come to room temp (about 90 minutes) before serving or your chips will break off in the bottom layer.
