Hey Mochabean - nice to have you back!
I didn't see it, but I'm sure someone here did...
as for the dressing - I've never seen it with french, but we use catalina mixed with sour cream pretty often for ours.

[MochaBean04]

yes! it was catalina. no that you said that it sounds right. there were also fritos in the salad. . .if that helps any?

[jkath]

Sounds like my mom's recipe!

Here's what I can come up with:
layer in this order:
Lettuce, meat (hamburger cooked with taco seasoning), refried beans, chopped tomatoes, black olive slices, cheddar cheese, monterey jack or pepper jack cheese, avocado cubes, then top with catalina mixed with sour cream and then green onion slices and fritos on the top.

Of course, Mocha, now you have made me crave it like crazy! Aaaah!
Guess what I'll be making for dinner this weekend?

I make this the same way but I use Ranch dressing mixed with a good, spicy salsa. You can use corn tortilla chips or make a flour tortilla shell to put the salad in.
