My Grandma Dorothy makes Sunday Dinner EVERY Sunday, regardless of anything else. Food is her way of showing her love. When she was in the hospital after a heart attack, her biggest concern was getting home so that she could make pies for Thanksgiving dinner. Today is Sunday and Matt and I went to eat. She makes no less than 25 dishes, by herself, every Sunday. Some of these dishes include fried chicken, mashed potatoes, yellow potatoes, mac n cheese, rice, green beans, gravy, chicken nuggets, beef roast with potatoes, carrots, onions... you get the idea.
After gorging on numerous dishes...we decided on a light dinner, which would also satisfy our long-standing craving for Mexican food. Taco Salad.
P.S. We went to Food Lion and really wanted to buy tortilla shells... and after a momentary lapse realized we didn't need the extra calories and I threw them back on the shelf.
1/2 head of iceberg, shredded
1/2 pound of ground turkey (93%)
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. cilantro
1 tiny bag of Doritos, crushed
1 medium jalapeno, chopped
1 cup of red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup of taco seasoning
3 tbsp. of chili powder
3 tbsp. of onion powder
1/2 cup water
Chop lettuce, jalapeno, red pepper, cilantro. Saute ground turkey, season with part of the taco seasoning, chili powder, onion powder and then when almost fully cooked, mix 1/2 cup water with the remaining seasoning and pour over turkey.
Layer lettuce, red pepper, jalapeno, cilantro, Doritos, cheddar cheese in a bowl. Top with cooked turkey. Mix. Top with salsa and dressing of choice, which for us is vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste!
A great Sunday - filled with great food! Now... where's my ice cream?
