Hey Family, I just have a few more recipes to share that I didn't post earlier.

Layered Taco Salad

1 lb. ground beef
2/3 c. water
1 pkg. taco seasoning

2 avocados, peeled and pitted
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. lemon juice

4 c. shredded lettuce
1 can olives, drained and sliced
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, chopped
5 green onions, chopped
2 c. cheese
1 c. salsa
2 c. sour cream

Tortilla chips

Cook taco meat according to pkg. Make guacamole with avocados, onions, garlic, and lemon juice.

Layer all ingredients in order listed. Serve with chips.

This was fun and pretty, but the only downfall is leftovers. All those things as leftovers is not good, so don't make more than necessary.
