Layered Taco Salad

Layered Taco Salad -- A Pinch of Joy

This layered salad with a Mexican twist makes six servings of about 1 cups each.  A glass 8×8 pan is the perfect size.  I have a vintage covered refrigerator dish that works great!   Use any sturdy lettuce or lettuce mix as the base – iceberg, romaine,etc. A 12 ounce package seems to be the norm, but a 16 ounce package will also work with the proportions above.  Feel free to up the amount of taco seasoning for more kick.  1 teaspoon is very mild, 2 teaspoons is medium and 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) makes the flavor pop!   Wait till the last minute to add the tortilla chips so they stay crunchy.  Wheels and Bytes like to have extra chips to moosh on their plates as a foundation to top with the salad.  Avacado is optional, but if you choose to use it, add it at the last minute as well so it doesn’t turn brown.
