Tips
- Brown the ground beef and let it cool completely before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- Use a paper towel to absorb extra grease from the cooked ground beef.
- To cool ground beef faster, place it in a pie plate in the fridge or freezer.
- Chop the iceberg lettuce first as it forms the base of the salad.
- If you prefer, you can add chopped onion.
- Serve the taco salad within an hour of mixing to prevent the chips from getting soggy.
- The recipe is available in the creator's Amish cookbook.
