In the Kitchen: Taco Salad Recipe

In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!

Mexican food is part of my family’s basic food group haha… we can’t say no to Mexican food. That’s why I make it a point to cook tacos, nachos, or quesadillas at home. This weekend, I’m in the mood for some chopping so I prepared tacos.

To make it more extra, I transformed it into a taco salad.
