5-minute Taco Salad By: David P.

Recipe Story

I've been making this for over 20 years for myself. I first discovered it when I was on my vegetarian kick between ages 9 and 10. It's so quick, easy, healthy, and delicious. As a CF'er the key is to overload the salted tortilla chips, cheese and sour cream portion for the added salt and calories. Between the beans, chopped fresh greens, and dairy, it's a hit for everyone. Simply separate ingredients on the table and feed the entire family. Also, you can shred or dice any leftover meats from the night before like pork, chicken, or beef, and simply add to the mix if you're not vegetarian friendly.
