Sometimes it’s just too hot to cook.
While the temps haven’t really soared yet, it definitely feels hotter here in the Carolinas than it did just last week. The humidity level has shot up and we’ve had lots of outdoor commitments – and most of them have been all day and in the sun. I feel as if I’ve spent the past week in a sauna.
So when it came time to cook dinner, I really didn’t want anything warm. Something simple and cool but filling and fun seemed right, and so My Big Helper and I made this Layered Nacho Taco Salad.
We ended up with a spicy and (mostly) healthy salad that had some fun crunch, too.
