Tex-Mex Style Salad

I'm always making up new ways to make a salad. This one isn't the most healthy one, but it does taste good. 

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion
1  can Caribbean style black beans, drained and rinsed
Mrs. Dash Garlic Seasoning
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1 teaspoon red pepper
1 dash or 2 of tabasco sauce
1 cup fresh cut salsa
1 bag favorite brand lettuce
1 cup grated Monterey jack/ Colby cheese
1 cup Cheddar cheese
4 tablespoons freshly chopped cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions:
In a frying pan place onion and cook for a minute. Add ground beef, Mrs. Dash, Italian Seasoning, Tabasco, two tablespoon cilantro leaves and red pepper. Let cook through thoroughly.  

When cooked let cool a few minutes. Then in a large bowl layer the meat, beans, half lettuce Monterey Jack/Colby cheese, salsa, rest of lettuce, and cheddar cheese.


In a blender add rest of cilantro, red wine vinegar, lime juice, sour creams, garlic and olive oil. Blend well and serve as dressing over salad.
