TACO SALAD AMERICAN FLAG DIP

Steps:

• Cook meat with taco seasoning mix as directed on package; cool slightly.
• Mix cream cheese, sour cream and salsa until blended; spread onto bottom of 13x9-inch dish. Top evenly with layers of meat mixture, 1 cup shredded cheese and lettuce.
• Arrange olive slices on top left corner of dip to resemble stars on the US flag. Add rows of tomatoes and remaining shredded cheese for the stripes.
• Refrigerate 30 min.

TACO SALAD FLAG

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef over a medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain off any extra grease. Next, stir in the water, salsa and taco seasoning. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Place chips in a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Next spread beef evenly over the top of chips.
• Cover beef with a layer of lettuce.
• Arrange olive slices together in the upper left corner to form stars. For the stripes, alternate tomatoes and cheese. I added a couple extra chips to the side of the dish for some extra crunch.
• NOTE: If you are making this several hours in advance, I would skip placing the chips at the bottom of the taco salad and just serve them on the side.
• Optional: I also like to drizzle a little bit of Italian dressing over the individual servings :)

TACO SALAD FLAG

Steps:

• Spread refried beans into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
• Beat cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy. Add sour cream and taco seasoning and beat until fully combined. Spread cream cheese mixture over refried beans.
• Stir guacamole to make it easier to spread. Drop dollops of the guacamole over the surface of the cream cheese layer and carefully spread into an even layer.
• Top with cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, green onion, bell pepper, olives, and cilantro.
• Press down the toppings gently to create a relatively smooth "surface" on the salad.
• Sprinkle crushed blue tortilla chips in the upper left-hand corner of the dish.
• Beginning and ending with the tomatoes, rotate rows of chopped tomatoes and mozzarella cheese to form the stripes of the "flag."
• Cut out star shapes from the cheese slices and place them on top of the blue corn chips.
