Taco Salad is a very delicious and refreshing recipe that everyone should learn and experience.
Last week, Jake and his family, our Mexican friends, surprised everyone in the family when they just knocked on our door. It was really a nice experience to see them after a long time. It has been five long years since the whole family left for Mexico and eventually settled there. Along with their stories on their experiences, they also brought lots of foods which they have learned in Mexico.
While the children were enjoying playing computer games, my wife and Jake’s wife were busy in the kitchen. It turned out that they were preparing the delicious and refreshing Taco Salad that Jake’s wife has acquired from their Mexican friends. When we tasted it, I was so surprised to find out that it tastes better compared to other commercial salads. I could not resist begging them to cook more of that delicious and yummy recipe that I would definitely miss when Jake and his family leave.
Well, it’s not only me who liked the food because even the children liked it so much. Maybe that’s the reason my wife asked for the directions on how to prepare that yummy Taco Salad.

Yummy and Refreshing Taco Salad
that looks more american than mexican...practically a fast food version. that must have been a sarcastic article(the original one). taco salad is a dish that non-mexicans eat to feel that they had mexican food. a taco is like a sandwich, meat, onions, cilantro and salsa on a corn(wheat for euro types)tortilla(amerindian flatbread like a crepe or thin pita). taco salad is a salad with mexican-style spiced shredded or ground meat. sometimes tacos(sonora style) also have lettuce or cabbage and tomatos and cheese on them too. depending on the taco, it kinda could be a salad...
a mexican named "Jake".....well i'm sure germans hearing me speak about sourkraut would be more amused....
