Taco Salad Like a tlayuda in a bowl, this one is a definite keeper. For 4 servings (2 dinners for 2 people): 1 lb chicken meat 16 oz. corn 1 whole avocado salad: lettuce, washed and torn into salad-sized pieces tortilla chips, broken into bite sized pieces cotija cheese (can use part Mexican cheese mix) roasted corn (16 oz, or 1 large can) tomato, chopped chicken, carnitas, or beef seasoned with taco mix and stir fried hot pinto beans, cooked until soft, flavored with onion and garlic RSP red bell pepper, chopped ripe avocado dressing: mayonnaise/sour cream 50/50 mix mild salsa (big jars in supermarkets, be sure to buy mild) chipotle pepper in adobo Stir to combine dressing ingredients. For added zing, stir in some canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced. For 2-3 people I generally put in a big spoonful of mayonnaise, the same amount of sour cream (could use yogurt too) and then stir in salsa until the color looks right, a nice pink. (1 lb. chicken for 4 servings) Start with 2 or 3 frozen skinless chicken breasts. Let them thaw for a bit and then cut them into medallions about 1/4" thick. Lay them out on a plate and sprinkle them with homemade taco seasoning. Stir fry with a little oil, very hot. It only takes a few minutes. Pull while still juicy. Taco Seasoning good with beef, turkey, chicken .. Use about 2 tablespoons taco seasoning and 1/3 to 1/2 tablespoons liquid per pound of meat. Single batch, enough for one pound of meat: 1.3 teaspoons chili powder or ancho 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon onion powder 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1.5 teaspoons cumin 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper (cut back from 1/4 for Karen) Optional: 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (leave out for Karen)
