"Trash Bag" Taco Salad published in Taste of Home April/May 1995, p54
Camp Taco SaladTo adapt our favorite taco salad recipe for camping, I cook the ground beef at home until no longer pink. I also combine lettuce, cheese and diced tomatoes in a resealable bag. On site, I simmer the meat with a can of chili beans, then add a packet of taco seasoning with water. Come time to eat, top tortilla chips with the meat/bean mixture and other fixings. —Susan W., Minot AFB, North Dakota

Fast and easy great salad! I dont usually like Tex-Mex, but I liked this a lot! A 2 gallon Ziploc bag works fine. Add the corn chips just before serving so they dont get soggy. I also pared it down to family size.

Simple and really good. A nice change from regular tacos. This has become a dish we make regularly.

I make this in stainless steel canning kettle. Mix together just before serving. Is awesome presentation and tastes GREAT!

Garbage bags are treated with chemicals and perfumes - I wouldn't suggest putting dinner to eat in a garbage bag.
