Storing Seasoned Hamburger Mix in the freezer helps Dorothy beat the clock when she is creating this change-of-pace tossed salad. Guests will love how it's chock-full of good stuff, including fresh tomatoes, chopped avocado and canned kidney beans.

Ingredients

  • 3 large tomatoes
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, torn
  • 6 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups Seasoned Hamburger Mix, thawed
  • 1 bottle (7 ounces) green taco sauce
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • Ranch salad dressing or dressing of your choice

Directions

  1. Chop two tomatoes; cut remaining tomatoes into wedges. In a large salad bowl, toss the lettuce, tortilla chips, cheese, beans, avocado and chopped tomatoes; set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine hamburger mix and taco sauce. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Spoon over salad; toss gently. Top with tomato wedges and onions. Serve with dressing.
