Layered Taco Salad

I couldn't decide whether I wanted to make a 7 layer salad, or a taco salad, since I love both. So, I decided to create a layered taco salad and mix them both! I figured that you can't really go too wrong with a salad like that and instead of looking up a recipe I made up one myself.

Ingredients
1 iceberg lettuce
*1 cob of corn
1 large orange pepper
2 medium tomatoes
1 small onion
1 pound ground beef
1tsp salt
1tsp pepper
**Taco Seasoning
2C salsa
1C shredded cheese
1/3C Ranch
1/2C sour cream
Few Handfuls nachos



Directions
Cook beef with onion, salt and pepper. Cut corn off the cob and cook. Wash and cut lettuce, tomatoes, and pepper. Crush nachos. Drain meat and add taco seasoning. Layer lettuce, corn, pepper, tomato, lettuce, beef, chips, lettuce, salsa, ranch, sour cream and cheese respectively. (You can layer them in any order, this is just the order I chose)
Serves 8-12

*Could use more corn, I only had one in the house.

**Taco Seasoning
You can use a store bought package if you have it. I didn't so I used a recipe from AllRecipes which was very simple and tasted great. However, you only need about half of what the recipe produces.

My family loved it. I didn't love it, mostly because I don't like tomatoes raw or orange pepper, but it was still good.
