Rice Taco Salad

This is a recipe I cooked often when all our children were at home.  It is easy, thrifty and everyone likes it.
The recipe is from either Grit or Cappers -my grandmother was an avid reader and she saved these weekly newspapers for us.

It's been a while since this I made this recipe.   Then last week,  I saw a cup of leftover rice in the fridge so I made a half-recipe of Rice Taco Salad for just the 2 of us.   It does not use a lot of spice - just salt, pepper, a little cumin and garlic but it really is delicious.
I put my helping on top of some tortilla chips. This recipe is great for using up leftover rice.   We did not usually add the avocado the recipe calls for,  other than that,  I make the recipe just as it is written..

Everyone liked eating this recipe but I think Nina is who asked for it most often.

    We love this kind of stuff! I think the rice is a nice addition. Have you ever tried corn? Sometimes I add a layer of corn to it, too. OK...now I'm hungry! ha.

    Yum! My mom used to get Cappers Weekly and would clip and try many recipes from these!

    Hi Rhonda,
    I have a recipe just like this in my Cleaning Eating magazine from last month. I have it marked to cook next week.
    So frugal and yummy.

    This looks good. I don't like spicy food, so this would be good for me!
