Chili Taco Salad

Tonight's Dinner! I found this recipe out of an old Pillsbury cookbook of mine.

Chile Taco Salad!!
1/2 cup Chunky Salsa
1/2 cup Chili Sauce
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 lb EXTRA lean (at least 90%) ground beef------- You could use ground turkey also
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 (11oz) can Mexicorn Whole Kernel Corn, Red peppers & Green peppers
1 (10-oz) pkg (6cups) torn mixed salad greens
1 medium tomato chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup small corn chips

1. In a small bowl, combine salsa, chili sauce, cumin and chili powder, mix well. Set aside.

2. In 12 inch skillet, break up ground beef; sprinkle with garlic salt. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until beef or turkey is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently.  Drain

3.Add corn and 1/4 cup of the salsa mixture: cook and stir 1 minute.

4. On individual serving plates layer salad greens, beef or turkey mixture and tomato. Drizzle with some of the salsa mixture; sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup chips.  Drizzle with remaining salsa mixture.

I think I am going to add some fresh avocado to ours for added flavor.  I am going to use some frozen corn that I have from BBQ-ing and going to add the peppers to it!!!
