Sweet Spicy Taco Salad Recipes

SPICY TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the tortilla strips on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon taco seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread out into an even layer and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the jalapeños, brine and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Toss the beans, slaw mix, cilantro, Cheddar, tomatoes and onion with the taco-jalapeno dressing in a large serving bowl. Season with salt. Top with the tortilla strips and dollops of sour cream if using.

SPICY DORITO® TACO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook ground beef, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper together in a skillet over medium heat until meat is brown and crumbly, about 10 minutes, breaking the meat up into chunks as it cooks. Drain excess grease, remove from heat, and let the meat cool.
• Toss lettuce, tortilla chips, Colby-Jack cheese, kidney beans, tomato, onion, and pickled jalapeno peppers in a large salad bowl; mix in the beef.
• Whisk vegetable oil, sugar, ketchup, taco seasoning, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl until sugar has dissolved; pour dressing over the salad and toss again.

• Add Catalina dressing and hot sauce. Taste sauce and adjust sweet/spicy to taste.
• Raise heat to HIGH and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 1-2 minutes.

TACO SALAD WITH SWEET-POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Roast, stirring once, until browned and tender, 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk together lime zest and juice, chopped cilantro, and remaining 1/3 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss romaine hearts with half of dressing (about 1/4 cup); season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls; top with beans, jalapenos, radishes, chips, cheese, and sweet potatoes. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with cilantro leaves; serve.
