However, I solved my love hate relationship with tacos, by putting it all in a bowl. Taco salad for the win! It&#8217;s just as tasty and has all the nutritious goodness of the taco.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the same ingredients of ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and the like. But there&#8217;s a nice twist with putting your taco in a bowl &#8211; more stuff can fit. I can add avocado, sour cream, olives, beans, even corn. Taco salad is a fabulously delicious alternative for the messy taco eaters of the world.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to what to serve with taco salad the possibilities are as tasty, as they are endless. If you want to keep things light, you may choose simple guacamole and chips, or a nice soup. Should you choose to simply add a salsa or dressing, jalapeno ranch dip and avocado lime dressing go great on the salad.<\/p>\n<p>Main courses like shrimp fajitas and enchiladas are classic go to meals. There&#8217;s also a ton of unique desserts like flan and mango sorbet. I&#8217;ve got all these winning recipes, and many more below. So if you&#8217;re stuck on what to have with taco salad, read on.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Side_Dishes\"><\/span>Side Dishes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><a id=\"post-158064-_we4ojzcxzzx\"><\/a>1.<a href=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/elote\/\">Mexican Street Corn<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always been a corn lover, but on a trip to Mexico, I was introduced to elote, which is sold by street vendors the same way pretzels are sold in the United States. I&#8217;ll tell you, I had a hard time eating plain, buttered corn after that.<\/p>\n<p>With elote, the corn is smothered in a smooth, yet zippy mayonnaise and sour cream sauce. It contains Mexican staples like chili powder, lime, cilantro, and cheese. It&#8217;s easy to make and takes only about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Just boil or grill the corn, and butter it. Then mix together all your spicy mayo sauce and spread it over the corn. Not only is it uniquely flavorful, it&#8217;s appetizing appearance is a sure fire conversation starter. I sometimes like to sweeten up my taco bowl by mixing the kernels in with it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-roundup-item wprm-recipe-roundup-item- wprm-recipe-template-roundup-1\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-summary-container\">\n    \n\n  <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/elote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Elotes-Recipe-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 750px; height: auto;border-width: px;border-style: solid;border-color: #ffffff;border-radius: 5px;width: 750px;max-width: 100%;height: 500px;object-fit: cover;\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n    \n    \n    <a href=\"https:\/\/tastesbetterfromscratch.com\/elote\/\" style=\"color: #4a90e2;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-link wprm-recipe-link wprm-block-text-normal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"\">Get this recipe<\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"post-158064-_dqjjug6q2rgk\"><\/a>2.<a href=\"https:\/\/thrivinghomeblog.com\/chips-and-guacamole\/\">Guacamole And Chips<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This iconic combo is a must-have whenever Mexican food is present.

Don&#8217;t skimp on the chips. This guacamole deserves a nice, crispy tortilla.

When you boil your rice (it must be long grain), rather than using whatever water the package calls for, use half chicken broth and half tomato sauce. In other words, if you&#8217;re supposed to boil the rice in 4 cups of water, use 2 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Not only will it be full of flavor, but the fiery red and orange colors will be gorgeous on any plate.

Once the pinto beans have soaked (preferably overnight), boil them for about an hour.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet, and saute onions and garlic, with some salt and pepper. Transfer the beans into the skillet, and fry them while mashing.

Called the doughnuts of the Southwest, these little puffy, fluffy, fried hollow squares of dough are absolutely delicious. When topped with honey or whipped cream, they are a simple, yet tasty dessert.<\/p>\n<p>But, they can also be dipped in salsa and sauces for a fun snack or side to your taco salad. You can even be stuffed with meat, cheese, or anything else your heart desires. When you fry these little bits of heaven, be sure to use lard. I know, I know, but butter and shortening just don&#8217;t get them crispy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-roundup-item wprm-recipe-roundup-item- wprm-recipe-template-roundup-1\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-summary-container\">\n    \n\n  <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lilluna.com\/sopapillas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lilluna.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/sopapillas-9-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 750px; height: auto;border-width: px;border-style: solid;border-color: #ffffff;border-radius: 5px;width: 750px;max-width: 100%;height: 500px;object-fit: cover;\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n    \n    \n    <a href=\"https:\/\/lilluna.com\/sopapillas\/\" style=\"color: #4a90e2;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-link wprm-recipe-link wprm-block-text-normal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"\">Get this recipe<\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><a id=\"post-158064-_jp65vm1dbqpx\"><\/a>6.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-mexican-brownies\/\">Mexican Chocolate Brownies<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>A chewy, chocolate brownie can really hit the spot after a spicy taco salad. This easy recipe is really just your average boxed treats. The tasty squares get kicked into high gear with the addition of ground cinnamon and Chile pepper.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the instructions on the box like you normally would, but add in the spices as you mix. They take less than 10 minutes to prepare, and 20 minutes to bake. Pro Tip, take all the dry ingredients, mix them together and place them in a glass jar. The mix will stay fresh for 3 months.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-roundup-item wprm-recipe-roundup-item- wprm-recipe-template-roundup-1\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-summary-container\">\n    \n\n  <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-mexican-brownies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Easy-Mexican-Brownies_EXPS_THCA18_193393_C01_05_3b-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 750px; height: auto;border-width: px;border-style: solid;border-color: #ffffff;border-radius: 5px;width: 750px;max-width: 100%;height: 500px;object-fit: cover;\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n    <div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n    \n    \n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/easy-mexican-brownies\/\" style=\"color: #4a90e2;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-roundup-link wprm-recipe-link wprm-block-text-normal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" aria-label=\"\">Get this recipe<\/a>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drinks\"><\/span>Drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><a id=\"post-158064-_wp1vp7iftf6r\"><\/a>1.<a href=\"https:\/\/downshiftology.com\/recipes\/classic-margarita\/\">Margaritas<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This classic cocktail is great at parties, refreshing at BBQ&#8217;s, and will definitely get you in the mood if you&#8217;re cooking a Mexican meal.
