Quick Dinner #1

Have kids, can't cook.

If I just had my 5 year old, it would be pretty easy to prep and cook a mighty fine dinner.  She likes to try to help and understands to stay away from knives and the stove.  Then there is my 2 year old who lives his life on the wild side.  I spend most of my time redirecting him then cooking.

I'm always on a quest to provide my children somewhat healthy meals.

This has been a favorite in my family for several years when my Aunt shared it with my Mom.

Here is a quick easy one that we love.  It's wonderful for summer and filling!

TACO SALAD
1 head of lettuce
tomatoes - cut in small pieces
1 small red onion - chopped fine
kidney beans
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 bottle of Catalina Dressing
1 bag of Doritos

Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy!  :)

You can alter - originally we added grounded beef.
You can substitute different beans.
You can have the chips on the side or mix them in.  You can try a different type of chip.
You can make more or less very easily.
You can add black olives.

It's so quick and easy to make - however - it doesn't store well so plan to make it and serve it right away!

Enjoy!
