I think I might have been a little cruel this last week. See, I’ve been mercilessly teasing you with this Southwestern Steak Salad on some of my prior posts. At least, anyway, I hope you’ve been building up an appetite for this salad. 🙂 It’s seriously delish. Seriously noteworthy. You’ll need to make this one; it has something for everyone.

Chicken Tortilla Soup (or Turkey Tortilla Soup)
I don’t know about you, but I love, love, love me some Chicken Tortilla Soup. Or some Turkey Tortilla Soup. OK make that ANY Tortilla Soup. Just put it in front of me and I’ll eat it – no questions asked. Anytime I go out and see Chicken Tortilla Soup on a menu, I hafta order it. Doncha hate it when it comes in a little tiny cup? Well, that won’t be a problem when you make this at home, and you can make it on the stovetop or in the slow cooker!

Restaurant Style Homemade Tortilla Chips
Warm, crispy, crunchy, salty, fragrant – there’s nothing like homemade tortilla chips, and these are truly Restaurant Style Homemade Tortilla Chips. Pair them with a great Salsa or some stellar (I know the photo is unfortunate!) guac (like this Best Guacamole) and the result is heavenly!

Fun Festive Taco Casserole
What can I say about this casserole? All the appeal of tacos combined with a nacho like topping? That’s a win win in my book, because we love love love both of those things at our house! I tried it, thinking my teenager would like it. I was wrong, he wild about it. A little salsa, a few slices of avocado and a dab of sour cream added a little freshness to this substantial Fun Festive Taco Casserole.
