Baked Beans Taco Salad for Pinterest

Baked Bean Taco Salad

Happy F.R.I.D.A.Y!!

Friday + This Taco Salad = makes a VERY happy me! This was the first dish I learnt after I married Jerry as I was expecting guests one day and I had no idea what should be served to guests! When you grow up in India, most of the times you are blessed to be pampered by your parents so much that when suddenly all the responsibility comes on your shoulders, you find yourself calling your mom/dad every now & then for even the tiniest advice.

Fried Tortilla Chips for Baked Bean Taco Salad

I clearly remember the first few months after I moved thousands of miles away from my parents! I missed them so much and at every instance, I couldn’t control but have tears rolling down my eyes! I think I am going down the memory lane today as my mom will soon be leaving for India and how I wish that both my parents could stay here forever, may be somewhere close by so I can see them whenever I want to and not just once/twice a year!

On the other hand Jerry is lucky enough to have his parents live closer by so his mother was my cooking guide for lot of her recipes. Her recipes which I enjoyed most, I would try to learn and recreate them in my own way. This is one of her recipes too! Jerry grew up eating this but instead of using cans for baked beans, I like making my own and if you want to make your own & super easy baked beans, recipe is here!

Baked Bean Taco Salad Ready to Eat

I love the sweet & spicy flavors of this salad. It starts with small pieces of fried tortillas/tacos as the base and then you top it off with bubbling hot baked beans, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes & onion. So GOOD. This makes for a perfect little indulging friday night dinner if all you want tonight is to be a couch potato, eat plates of this and watch chef’s table (Probably you might find me doing this!)

Give it a try!
