1 lb ground beef

  • 2. Set aside.
  • 3. Drain and rinse can of pinto beans and set aside in a separate dish.
  • 4. Prepare all other ingredients and set aside in separate dishes. This is a layering process, so I just have all the ingredients lined up buffet style, grab a plate and build your salad.

  • 6. Then a handful of Fritos.
  • 7. Add a couple spoonfuls of ground beef mixture.

  • 9. Then tomatoes, onions, and ending with some shredded cheese. Pour the desired amount of taco sauce over your salad and enjoy.
