...or was it a Taco Salad Recipe??? I don't remember... But, here is the one I was thinking of anyway, I used to make it back in the 90s, should make again and see if I'm still as crazy about it as I was then...
HEATHER'S VERSION OF MEXICAN LINDO'S TOSTADA
Fry until crisp (or bake) a corn or flour tortilla. Top with:
hot refried beans
finely shredded iceberg lettuce
chopped green onion
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
and this dressing:
Mix 1/4 cup oil - olive
2 T. Balsamic vinegar
2 T. sugar ( or Equal to taste)
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
lots of fresh ground pepper
pinch of dried Mexican oregano
Shake well & pour over. Taste and add more vinegar if you like. It's great! The tostada should be swimming in the dressing. Pass the salsa verde.
NOTE: for low-fat variety switch the oil to spring water & it still tastes good!
