Taco Salad Supreme

In London, Ontario today it is HOT!  Not that I am complaining in the least.  I love the heat.  So much so that my husband constantly reminds me that I was born in the wrong country.  Sorry Canada, I love you but some improvements could be made on your weather personality.  Not today though!  It is a balmy 35 degrees, feeling like 39 with the humidex factor. That’s awesome for lounging on a beach or enjoying the pool, but not so awesome for cooking.  So if you are anywhere hot like here today, here’s a summer recipe that is so easy to make, won’t heat up your kitchen and delicious to boot!

My sister introduced me to this Taco salad several years ago after she brought it to a potluck.  It has been a hit ever since.  It’s a change up from taco’s, and packed with flavour that you will find irresistible!  So if your kitchen has a little too much heat tonight, give this a try.

Ironically as I was writing this blog post about the crazy Ontario heat today, my hydro decided to take a break.  Coincidence? Or were the air conditioners taking a little too much space on the grid?  But we’re back in business. Let’s get cooking!
