This is perfect to take to a party or serve for a group.

1 head of lettuce,   1 lb of ground meat,   1 onion,   2 tomatoes,

shredded cheese-{any favorite kind will do} ,   **I like to use a mix of white and yellow cheeses,**

1 package of Taco Seasoning,   1 medium bottle of Catalina Dressing,   1 bag of Frito's {crushed}

Brown the meat and set it aside. While the meat is cooling, tear up the lettuce and put it in a LARGE bowl. Chop the onions and cut up the tomato's-toss in bowl. Add the meat to the mix and mix it up a bit. Now Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mix, add the Catalina and stir it up. Toss the cheese into the whole lot and mix it till its pretty.   The frito's??? Well add them to the mix if your gonna eat it immediately with no hope of left overs BUT....what I do is let everyone add their chips to their own bowl before they pile it with their "goodies".

**You can also set some Salsa and Sour cream aside for people to add if they like...Use your imagination!! MMMmmmmmmmmm good eatin!!!!
