Recipe 101 - Taco Salad My initial misgivings about taco salad had to do with the fact that A. I don’t usually like the type of lettuce in it and B. Ground beef recipes can be pretty bland. Somehow, I didn’t realize that there’s a lot of seasoning and cooking involved in making taco salad. I guess the word “salad” to me just translates to “quickly whipped together” in my mind. Nope. This was a process. I mean, it wasn’t hard by any means but it’s not something I see myself making after a long day at the office. As for the lettuce thing, you really need sturdier, crunchier lettuce for this recipe that can withstand all the juices of the meat without getting soggy. Even though I’m normally not a fan of this variety of lettuce, it makes sense here. This is one of those recipes where you have a bunch of ingredients that complement each other perfectly and you couldn’t really leave anything out without messing up the chemistry. A rookie mistake I made while making this recipe was that I didn’t drain the meat of excess fat and ended up with a soup towards the end. I was able to get away with draining it right before adding it to the lettuce but I regret not following the instructions carefully. When a recipe tells you to drain the fat. Drain the fat!Recipe:For prep instructions I used this recipe here. Happy New Year Clue Crew! Time to begin the countdown to 2019 Let’s keep on cookin’ in 2018. ;D -- source link
