Layered Taco Salad in a Jar - a perfect mason jar recipe

My daughter has become a rock star at making delicious mason jar salad recipes. She recently created this layered taco salad in a jar for her to take to work.

She has been trying to save money and keep from eating out. After some Pinteresting and found some great meals that are super easy to throw together and hold up well in the refrigerator.

This recipe for taco salad just came together after having tacos one night for dinner. We had a lot of leftovers (which is always good for a lunch the next day). My daughter started packaging everything up and layering it to create this mason jar salad recipe.

How to Make a Layered Taco Salad in a Jar

Serioously — mason jars are SO versatile and we use them for everything around here — ice cold coffee drinks, taco salads, or for homemade dressings.

Along with corn, I use 1 pound of ground beef (you can make it even better if using turkey). While you’re browning the meat over medium high heat, add your favorite taco seasoning, and 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water. I use 3 tablespoons of my Homemade Taco Seasoning. Just remember to let the taco meat cool before using it in this layered taco salad recipe so you don’t wilt the lettuce.

    When ready to eat, do you just pour it out onto a plate? Perhaps keep the meat separate so it can be heated in the microwave then added to the salad? Thanks! It looks delicious!!

      Yes. You just pour it out in a bowl or a salad.
