black beans
lettuce
small soft corn tortilla strips
onions

here is the part I’m not sure about…
Soy American or cheddar cheese melted with some tomato sauce mixed with a taco or chili seasoning blend ( I make my own delicious blends) Poured over the top and finally, topped with dairy free ranch dressing

Do you think it would work? Would you change anything? Maybe a better way to add the seasoning blend to the salad?

I would use a bed of shredded lettuce and in a pan sautee the onions, beans, along with diced tomatos, and green chiles with a package of taco season mixed in. Let simmer, drain slightly and pour over lettuce, then top with crushed chips, and soy cheddar.

This is great with a salad.

It says to cook it on a "classic round pizza stone". Do you think I could just cook it on a pan or do you have any suggestions on what to use? Otherwise, although i'd rather have an answer to my first question, is there a common store I could get a pizza stone at (something like target or kohls or something, although neither of them have one in stores). Thanks.

You don't need a pizza stone. A cookie sheet or a 9 x 13 should work.

One of the advantages of a pizza stone is the ability for it to hold heat. This is acheived by preheating the stone in the oven.

However, the recipe is using the stone as a baking sheet so any benefits are in some respects minimized.

That's why you don't really need a pizza stone.

You can find pizza stones in most stores… Wal-Mart, Target, Kohl's… prices average around $20.

Buffalo Chicken Dip: (serves 20)
2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup Ranch dressing
3/4 cup pepper sauce, such as Franks® Red Hot®
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Heat chicken and hot sauce in a skillet over medium heat, until heated through. Stir in cream cheese and ranch dressing. Cook, stirring until well blended and warm. Mix in half of the shredded cheese, and transfer the mixture to a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, cover, and cook on Low setting until hot and bubbly.

You can serve with either crackers, or nachos! Yummy!

This recipe is for Mexican Bean Salad

Thank you for your help

Technically you probably can, but it won't taste the same.

2 cupsCooled&Diced grilled chicken breast…2 cups of sour cream mixed with 1 pack of taco seasoning…it was served on lettuce & diced tomatoes on a fried flour tort…I revised it a little and added the diced tomatoes and green onions to the chicken sour cream mixture.

TACO SALAD
1 can kidney or pinto beans, drained
1/2 – 1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
8 oz. shredded cheese (I like mixed Mexican cheeses best)
2-3 chopped tomatoes
1/2 sliced onion
chopped cilantro
sliced avocado(s)
sliced black olives
3-4 handfuls crunched up tortilla chips (good way to use the ones in the bottom of the bag)
1 small jar/container salsa
Just toss it all together and enjoy! …. I know people who also add 1 lb. browned ground beef to it, but I don't like the hot meat in a cold salad….
