Southwest Nachos

Jump to Recipe

This is a meal we had on a regular basis when I was growing up.  However, it started out being called “Taco Salad”.  I have given it a new name because using lettuce as a garnish didn’t really constitute a “salad”.  The way we eat it resembles more like nachos.  In the past, I have also added beef broth and had this as a soup, or you can serve it like a chili. It is really a versatile and comforting meal…and it makes a lot which is good for freezing.
