Taco Salad in a Crispy Baked Shell

This is a wonderful recipe.  It is actually pretty simple, but it looks impressive.  It's always a hit with guests at our home!

First, make the Crispy Baked Taco Salad Shell Bowl and Ground Beef Taco Meat.  If refried beans are desired, I have a recipe here or canned ones can be used.

Toppings for Taco Salad can be as varied as one's imagination, however, these are our favorites in order from bottom to top:

Refried Beans
Ground Beef Taco Meat or Taco Meat (from my other blog)
Shredded cheese
Veggies of various sorts!  Radishes, cucumbers (see my article on how to keep a cucumber from being bitter, here), olives, tomatoes.  Some folks like onions, peppers, jalapenos.
Sauces like guacamole , sour cream and salsa

Pile it on and eat it with a fork.  The fun part is at the end, when the salad is all gone, the bowl can now be eaten!  Yummy :)

Enjoy!
