Refried Bean Dinner -Taco Salads

We like this meal because it is very versatile. It includes the frozen refried bean/meat mix (fully cooked) and 1 bag of chips. I gave you our very mild version so if you like it hotter, you may want to throw in a can of medium or hot chili peppers. There's serveral ways to serve this:
1. Thaw overnight; reheat in the microwave or on the stove, stirring every few minutes (and add a little water if you like it thinner). For the last couple of minutes we like to add a cup or two of shredded cheddar cheese and melt it on top. Serve the mixture on top of a bed of chips, and add lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, salsa, sliced olives, or whatever other toppings you like, and there you have a taco salad. OR ...
2. For kids that don't like all the extra toppings, just serve it like nachos and sprinkle more cheese on top.
3. Serve like a burrito, wrapped in a tortilla with salsa, sour cream, and lots of cheese (Dave's preference)
4. Serve on top of cooked white rice, and then add lettuce, tomatoes, olives and cheese on top (This is how my parents serve this meal).
