Layered Taco Salad

My apologies for the late post on this blog. It has fallen to the side when i traveled to Hawaii. We at amazingly good papaya and mangoes there and ice cream bananas! They're a greyish green when they're not totally ripe. I think the reason why they call them ice cream bananas is because they have a creamier texture than regular bananas. It's also called the Blue Java Banana.
anyway. here is a recipe for a quick and easy taco salad. it's a nice thing to take to a tailgate party or to eat as a one dish meal.

1 c. baked tortilla chips
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 jar of salsa (whatever heat you want)
1 c. pressed tofu shredded with 1 T. nutritional yeast (like cheese)
1-2 c. shredded romaine lettuce
1 small onion diced
2 dollops (being very exact here!) of sunflower sour cream


In a mixing or serving bowl, put the baked tortilla chips at the bottom of the bowl to cover the bottom. Then put in the black beans to cover the chips and pour in the salsa to cover that, not too thick though. Depending on the bowl, the measurements might be different. Sprinkle in the pressed shredded tofu and the shredded romaine lettuce. Dice up the onion and sprinkle that in there to and put some (2) dollops or spoonfulls of sunflower sour cream on the top to top it off. Eat it like a regular salad but don't toss. If you have it in a clear bowl, besure to have the layers nice and neat.
