Most folks think they know what taco salad is–a salad of taco fillings inside a bowl-shaped tostada shell–and most folks are incorrect. Edible bowls are dumb because if you eat it you lose a very functional bowl and where does your food go? And if you don’t eat it your meal is missing an important ingredient. LAME-O. Proper taco salad is ALL the taco goodness tossed into taco bliss! Today we had this version:<\/p>\n

A few big leaves of green leaf lettuce, chopped
\n1 amazingly meaty and juicy tomato, chopped
\nAbout 1\/4 cup Beecher’s Flagship cheese, grated
\n2 green onions, diced
\nHandful of raw pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
\n1\/2 a huge avocado, chopped
\n1\/2 pound ground beef, pre-cooked and pre-seasoned from our freezer
\nAbout a cup tortilla chips, crushed a bit by hand
\nAbout 1\/4 cup whisked-up dressing: EVOO, lime juice, clover honey, cumin, paprika, and black pepper<\/p>\n

The spices, olive oil, lime juice and tortilla chips were non-local Pantry items and the avocados are my one caveat ingredient. The rest is legit, including the beef previously bought from Olsen Farms a couple months ago.<\/p>\n

We ate this with sliced up yellow nectarine as dessert and it was sooooo good and soooo summery. Gettin’ into the swing of this whole local thang!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
