For Dinner Again...Upon Request

I do not know how you do dinner in your home but, for us if there is a favorite on the part of my family, it is requested often. The simplicity of this meal is a bit embarrasing to share, but my husband told me that I must share it with you, my blogging friends. So, just in case you are looking for a quick, simple and inexpensive dinner, and you like tacos...this may be one to try. In the refrigerated section of the grocery store, I purchase this container of "Chi-Chi's" ground beef taco mix. I open the sealed plastic topping and put in the microwave for a few minutes(I forget exactly how long, possibly 5 minutes).

Onto a jelly roll pan I empty a bag of nachos(I think it works best to use the bite size), add the hot taco beef mixture over the top, and a bag of shredded cheese(mexican mix, or sharp cheddar, or whatever your preference). At this point I put in the oven, on the top shelf, and broil until cheese is totally melted.

Remove from oven, add chopped lettuce(unless you only have a bag of baby greens, the reason for the different shades of lettuces on the picture), and chopped tomatoes over the top. Serve with taco sauce and sour cream. At this point, my family transfers this to individual dinner plates, adding the salsa and sour cream, and mixing it together. Somewhat like a big taco salad. See, it is almost too simple, but the taste is so good(to us)!! Can also be used for an appetizer, or as in our case...dinner.
