INGREDIENTS
Meat Mixture:
- 1 pound hamburger
- 1 package Lipton onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (15 oz.) can stewed tomatoes (blended in blender)
- 1 cup Ortega mild taco sauce
Base:
- Lettuce, torn up
- Colby cheese, grated
- Restaurant-style tostada chips
Topping:
- 1 cup Ortega mild taco sauce
- Cass-Clay sour cream
- olives, tomato pieces
INSTRUCTIONS
- Brown hamburger; add soup mix and 1/2 cup water. Cook until liquid is gone.
- Add blended stewed tomatoes and 1 cup taco sauce.
- Simmer 1/2 hour (add more water if needed).
- Tear up lettuce on plate. Break up tostadas; lay on top of lettuce. Top with cheese. Add meat sauce on top of cheese.
- Top with your choice: more cheese, taco sauce, tomatoes, olives and/or sour cream. (Test note: In testing, we purchased the 16-ounce bottle of Ortega sauce so we’d have enough to put on top of finished salad. An excellent and easy-to-prepare salad. If watching your salt intake, you may wish to cut down on the amount of onion soup mix you use.)
