Day 1 Taco salad Dinner:
Brown the meat, add in sliced onion and taco seasoning cook well. Add corn and beans till warm. Melt in some cheese.

Cut up salad. Mix sour cream and salsa to preffered spiciness. Crush up half bag Tortilla Chips.

I Keep my lettuce seperate to Keep left overs fresh.

I layer warm mix, then lettuce then Chips and on top Dressing. Fed our Family (2 adults and toddler)

Day 2 Mexican Rice Lunch:
Cook 1 Cup Brown Rice

Add in yesterdays meat mix till heated.

Serve with remaining salad and Dressing.
