• 2. Set aside.
• 3. Drain and rinse can of pinto beans and set aside in a separate dish.

• 6. Then a handful of Fritos.
• 7. Add a couple spoonfuls of ground beef mixture.

• 9. Then tomatoes, onions, and ending with some shredded cheese. Pour the desired amount of taco sauce over your salad and enjoy.

Steps:

• Cut lettuce into salad sized pieces and put in bowl large enough to toss all ingredients.
• Dice tomatoes and onions and add to lettuce. Add cheese. Add chili hot beans with all of the sauce as this becomes the "dressing". Toss ingredients until well mixed and coated with sauce from beans.
• Add finely crushed nacho cheese chips and toss again. Serve immediately.

• Mix cut lettuce, shredded cheese, onions, olives and crushed chips into large serving bowl.
• Into already browned and drained ground chuck, add Catalina dressing and taco sauce. Heat until all ingredients are hot.
