CEiMB: Beef Taco Salad with Chunky Tomato Dressing

      The recipe chosen this week for CEiMB, using Ellie Krieger's book, So Easy, was Beef Taco Salad with Chunky Tomato Dressing chosen by Peggy of Pantry Revisited.  You can find the recipe on page 77 of the book or here. 

      What a great Ellie recipe, Peggy, thanks, we all loved it.  Not only did this taste great, it was easy and quick on a busy week night. 

      The meat mixture is just lean ground beef, black beans, garlic, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and water.  The spices flavored the beef and beans nicely, not too spicy, spicy enough.  The dressing for the tomatoes is olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper.  The topping is grated cheddar cheese and crumbled baked tortilla chips.  All of this goes on top of a bed of romaine lettuce.  Easy simple, all the food groups nicely represented, definitely a repeat for us.   

      Next week's assignment is Baked Beans with Ham from Ellie's book So Easy, on pages 179-180, chosen by Danica's of Danica's Daily.  You can find the CEiMB blogroll here.
