Does anyone have an easy recipe for chicken taco salad they could share? I'm looking for the kind that everything is mixed in one big bowl with some kind of corn chips added in.
Thanks,
Kristi

yum that sounds good...if someone doesn't answer try
foodtv.com or search taco salad recipe on the web.
what I do is brown the ground meat and use taco seasoning for tacos and in a bowl put lettuce, tomato, cheese, some people use kidney beans maybe some cilantro and your ground beef. and tortilla chips broken into smaller pieces
For the dressing I prefer just oil & vinager or a mild Salsa
I haven't tried this on taco salad but it's pretty good is They now have a chipotle ranch dressing..
I looked briefly but didn't see anything like what I was looking for. Someone made one at the Pismo rally a couple of years back that was great. It was in a large stainless steel bowl. Wish I knew who!
Kristi, if you want a shredded chicken taco salad, try this:
1 lb. chicken breast
1 med. onion halfed and sliced
3/4 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
1 - 2 chicken boullion cube's (to your taste)
1 bunch cilantro chopped
fresh garlic (to your taste)
cumin (to your taste)
1 tsp. black pepper
fresh diced jalapenos, (optional)
olive oil
In a pot brown chicken breast, then add onions, garlic and jalapenos, and saute til soft then add remaining ingredients and cook on low heat. It will be soupy, but it will thicken as water evaporates and chicken will be tender enough to shredd and mix to make a tasty taco salad.
Taco salad:
Tortilla Bowl or a Plain Bowl
Shredded iceburg lettuce
Canned refried beans (unless you want to make fresh)
Shredded Chicken
More Shredded Lettuce
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Diced Tomatoes
Diced Black Olives
Gucamole
Sour Cream
Salsa
Build it in this order and it will be perfect
I hope you'll like it.............Ed

We make ours with ground chicken or ground turkey or ground buffalo but I don't see why you couldn't try this with chicken cut into cubes.
Stuff to use:
1 to 2lbs of ground meat
1 to 2 taco seasoning packets
1 bag of salad mix
1 8oz or 12 oz bag of shredded taco cheese
1 can of black beans
1 bag of nacho doritos
sour cream
salsa
guacamole
Prepare your meat according the taco seasoning packet. I use one taco seasoning packet per 1lb of meat. For cubed chicken you may want to use 1 packet per 2 lbs. I only use 1/2 the recommended about of water. I find if you use the entire about the meat is too watery. Just before the meat is done, drain the beans and add them to the mix.
Next in a big bowl put your lettuce, cheese and doritos (crumble them up in the bag before you dump them in the mix). After the meat is done add it to the mix and toss. Add Sour cream, salsa, and guac as desired.
BTW- We are having this for dinner tonight. One of our favorites. YUM
