For InnVision- Taco Salad Recipe

Taco Salad (For InnVision Shelter)
This recipe should feed roughly 20.  If 2 sisters each make a batch it should be sufficient for the women and children at the shelter.
2 lbs. hamburger
2 onions, chopped
2 8-oz. cans tomato sauce
2 16-oz cans stewed tomatoes
2 16-oz cans pinto beans, drained
1/2 t. garlic
pinch of oregano
1 small can chopped green chilies
salt, pepper to taste
2 Tablespoons chili powder

Brown hamburger with onion. Drain meat. Add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer for 20 minutes (or put in crock pot for longer). Serve over corn chips and top with tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, olives, cheese, salsa and whatever else!

For the shelter, the following should be sufficient quantities for the taco salad "makings" (the person in charge of "salad/vegetable" could be in charge of these items):

1 big bag of chips from Costco
2 large heads of iceburg lettuce, shredded
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cut up tomatoes or a large jar of mild chunky salsa
tub of sour cream
2 cans olives
