7 LAYER TACO SALAD



7 Layer Taco Salad image

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...

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb lean ground beef/turkey
2 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 pkg 16 oz cream cheese softened
2 c 16 oz sour cream
1 lettuce head chopped
1 large sweet onion chopped
4 medium fresh ripe vine ripe tomatoes
4 jalapeno peppers finely chopped
2 c 4 cheese mexican shredded

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.
