Haystacks

Haystacks are a family recipe that is oh-so-yummy! It's basically a taco salad, but you use fritos with it!
Prep and cook time combined are about 20 minutes. 40 if you have a toddler crashing around in the kitchen with you as I usually do!
Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
Taco mix seasoning
Bag of fritos
Sour cream
Lettuce
Tomato
Shredded cheese
*any other topping you would want in a taco salad
package of rice (we use spicy yellow rice)


Prep:
•Brown the ground beef and add taco seasoning as directed on the taco mix. Let it sit covered on low while you prep everything else.
•cut up tomatoes, lettuce, etc. and put into separate serving bowls, as well as your sour cream and any other topping you wanted to add.
•crush up fritos and place in bowl

Serve family style. Just put the crushed fritos at the bottom of the bowl and start piling it up! Serve with the rice on the side, or in the bowl with the rest of it like I do!



Doesn't that look delicious!
Seriously, it's so simple. We call it haystacks because you start with a little bit of fritos and a little bit of meat and you keep adding and adding and before you know it, you have a haystack of food in your bowl! The fritos give it a nice crunchy texture, and it is the yummiest taco salad you'll eat!
