Taco Salad

I wanted to share these great taco shells that you find near the cheese,  in the dairy aisle of the grocery store.  You shape them over forms that are provided in the box and bake the shells for 6- 10 minutes.  It's like going out to eat at a favorite Mexican restaurant!! 



1 box Azteca shells, baked according to directions
The shells come in a flat box.
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 cup (or package) taco seasoning
3/4 cup water
lettuce
shredded cheese
tomatoes
black olives
avocado, sliced
sour cream
salsa

Brown the ground beef while the shells are baking.  Drain the fat and then add the taco seasoning and water.  Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Put the lettuce into the shells and top with cheese, tomatoes, olives, avocado and sour cream and salsa.  Enjoy your delicious taco salad!!
You put together the form and drape the unbaked shells over it.
The baked shells ready to be filled!

  8. We used to have a store that carried the ready-made taco shells like this but it's so good to know that these are available. We haven't had taco salad in ages - it's one of my husband's favorites!

  9. Kitty,
    I've never seen these taco shells before. Thank you for sharing.
    I think a taco salad in a taco shell would be different thing for dinner some time.

  17. Hi Kitty!

    I have never seen these before, only the ones in the bakery dept. I love that they are baked and not fried.

    Thanks for sharing this.
