Taco Salad and leftovers....

I recently made Taco Salads for dinner.....


Simply some ground beef simmered in taco seasoning tossed on a salad of lettuce, peppers, onions, tomatoes, salsa and cheese - and some Fritos tossed in for crunch!


But I had some leftover taco seasoned beef....


...so I spread some cream cheese in the bottom of a small baking dish....


...topped it with the leftover beef...


...spread some salsa on top...


...and finished it off with a sprinkling of shredded pepper jack cheese...


I baked it the next day for 25 min at 350' and had a delicious taco dip for Happy Hour!!


I served it with  Hint Of Lime tortilla chips....


We just scooped some out onto my new MacKenzie Childs Canape Plates...


...and it was delish!!


From now on I will cook a little extra Taco meat when I make taco salad and use the leftover to make this again!!



 Thanks for stopping by!

  4. I love taco salad, and how clever to turn it into a dip! It is fajita night at my house I think I'll make a refried bean dip to add to the menu, thanks Patti!

  5. Perfection. It reminds me growing up, sometimes my mom would make tacos with Fritos.
