When it's too hot to cook, this has always been my favorite dish to put together. You do have to cook the meat, but what I mean by too hot to cook is too hot to turn on the oven~ which is a 1940's O'Keefe & Merritt. Without even turning it on, it gives off heat.... so turning on the oven on a hot day can be miserable!
This is a healthier version of the Mexican Salad that I usually make.
You can add whatever you like: Salsa, olives, cheese, chips, meat, beans, sour cream, tomato....
I substituted a few things: Turkey instead of meat, fat free sour cream instead of regular, kidney/pinto beans instead of refried beans and baked nacho cheese tortilla chips instead of the regular ones.
You just: layer, repeat, layer, repeat....
It' quick, simple & my kids will eat it~ that's probably why it's one of my favorite dishes!
