Frito Taco Salad (or Pimaladas)

We have tacos at least once a week here in our house. Easy dinner, everyone likes them. Sometimes I like to change it up so it doesnt get boring and I make taco salad. Or, I make this dinner. It is all in the sauce. And, the sauce is easy to make.

2 tbsp taco seasoning
2 tbsp flour
mix in a sauce pan and slowly add 24 oz tomato juice. Heat and stir occasionally. If it is too thick, just add more juice!

To make the dinner, start with a plate of Fritos and pile on whatever toppings you want....
ground beef
lettuce
cheese
tomatoes
avacado
onions
sour cream
olives
whatever else you can think of that you would want...the world is your oyster (but I wouldnt recommend them)

Now, the good part, after your plate is full of all the yummy goodness it can handle, pour the sauce on top of it...just lay it on there. The sauce will melt all the cheese and make it gooey and yummy and messy! It is divine! And, it is so versitile! Great for a big crowd. You can easily make the sauce to serve more. Just add equal amounts of flour and taco seasoning and add more tomato juice!!

yummy! This is a lot like my good friends mom used to make us in high school. Except she mixed the sauce together (enchilada sauce, taco season, ground beef, and chili beans). We call it "taco plate". hmm, maybe not so helpful!

I think the Clark's call them Pimaladas. We do them every year between conference sessions.
