Ingredients

Directions

1. Mix 1 package of taco seasoning with the sour cream & set aside in the refrigerator.  Brown the ground beef with the second package of taco seasoning, drain well & reserve. 
2. Evenly chop iceberg lettuce to a medium chop & reserve.  Dice tomatoes to approximately ½” dice, drain & reserve.
3. Slice green onions to a small slice (approximately ¼”) & reserve.
4. On a large serving platter, evenly spread ground beef mixture.  Spread seasoned sour cream evenly on top of ground beef.  Top evenly with the chopped lettuce, then diced tomatoes, then the green onions.
5. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. 

Chef’s Note: Green onions are optional.  May be served at once, however, it should be partitioned & refrigerated if not served all at once.  We love serving it with Tostitos Scoops Tortilla Chips.

Makes approximately 10 pints

Chop each ingredient with a food processor, being careful not to chop too finely or chop by hand.  Mix all ingredients together.  Test for degree of “hotness” by adding chopped jalapenos one at a time.  Pack in hot, clean canning jars; seal & water bathe can for 25 minutes for pints & 30 minutes for quarts.

Chef’s Note: Use real apple cider vinegar – the flavored stuff is not the same.  Make sure to have plenty of tortilla chips on hand, as the salsa is even better fresh than canned!  Wear rubber gloves when handling the peppers.
