Whether you call them haystacks, taco salads, or taco pies, nothing quite beats the flavor mixture of a good Frito Salad. This Frito Salad, a version of Taco Salad, is my go-to comfort meal. These dishes are, conceptually, like deconstructing a tostada. The ingredients are usually served individually and then assembled on the plate by the person who will be eating it. In this instance, we’re putting it all together in advance for a delicious combination.
Not only is it tasty, but very quick and easy to make. Made with simple ingredients, you can prepare this amazing meal in under an hour.
