MEATLESS MONDAY

It's Fall Y'all and I'm looking for hearty recipes that don't involve meat! This one really fills the bill. Taco salad has always been a favorite of mine and this one is simple AND meatless!It would make a marvelous Fall supper!

HEARTY MEATLESS TACO SALAD
1 head iceberg lettuce, torn into 1 inch pieces
1 head romaine lettuce, torn into 1 inch pieces
1 (15.5 oz.) can chili beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15.25 oz.) can corn, drained
1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8oz.) pkg. shredded Mexican Cheddar Jack cheese blend (I LOVE Sargento cheeses and they have a low fat version of this cheese)
1 tomato, diced
1(9 1/4 oz) bag corn chips ( Fritos can't be beat!)
Light Catalina salad dressing

  1. In a large bowl, combine lettuces, chili beans, corn, black beans, cheese and tomato
  2. Just before serving, add corn chips and desired amount of salad dressing; tossing gently to coat. Serve immediately with fresh orange wedges.
I PREFER TO MIX THE LETTUCE SEPARATE FROM THE REST OF THE INGREDIENTS AND LET EACH PERSON MAKE THE SALAD TO TASTE WITH DRESSING ETC. I DON'T LIKE MY CORN CHIPS THE LEAST BIT SOGGY!
