I kept having to call my friend, Lori, every time I wanted to make this salad because I'd forget the exact ingredients, so it was definitely time to make up a recipe card for myself! Luckily, Karen Lockhart's Itty Bitty Taco stamp was a perfect compliment!
I stamped the IB Taco onto an Inchie Arts White Inchie Square with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with these Copic markers:
Copic Y00 was used to create a soft yellow glow around the taco. The Inchie was matted with a Spellbinders Scalloped Square Nestabilities die cut. My 4"x6" recipe card was made from BasicGrey's new June Bug paper. Spellbinders' Labels Four was used to cut more paper from the June Bug collection; it was cut in half and machine stitched to each side of the recipe card.
Tied green buttons accent the Inchie and finish off the card. As usual, I just printed my recipe from my Word computer program onto Neenah Natural White cardstock. Here's the cut and paste recipe for you, if you'd like to have it. This recipe can easily be doubled and is usually a big crowd pleaser at covered dish events!
Taco Salad
1 lb. seasoned taco meat (beef or chicken)
Iceberg lettuce, 1 head torn apart
1 can red kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 can sliced black olives, drained
3-4 green onions & tops, diced
1 chopped tomato
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Catalina or French salad dressing
Fritos
Toss all ingredients together in large bowl;
serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Well isn't this the cutest... I so love that salad. Maybe we'll have that tonight. :)

Sounds like MY taco salad as well -- except we like using canned Chili Beans (not chili -- but seasoned chili beans) in place of the kidney beans; and we just had it last night. I use Taco Seasoning in the meat. I got this recipe from a fellow teacher back in the 1970's. If you keep the shredded lettuce separate, you can even have it for leftovers because it won't get soggy. Your recipe card is really cute.

I love your recipe cards, I wish all my recipes looked this good, most of mine are scribbled down on scratch paper! The inchie taco is adorable and the taco salad sounds yummy!

Even if I didn't like taco salad, I would make it because the card is so inspirational.
