Crew Chew Recipe: Basic Taco Salad / San Francisco!

I chose my first real red-eye (all night flight) because I wanted to enjoy the long San Francisco layover! It was definitely worth it…

On my long flight to SFO, I needed to eat, so I put together my Basic Taco Salad. I shared it with the other FAs who loved it, and hopefully, I gave them a good idea as it’s super easy!
Ingredients:
Container of coleslaw salad (any salad), sprinkled with shredded cheese
Kim’s Famous Salsa (or other!)
1 Snack bag of Doritos
Bag of prepared taco meat (When I cook taco meat, I divide it into portions and freeze them.)

Directions: You can heat the meat or have it cold as it’s already cooked. All you do is put it together, crumble the Doritos, and enjoy! It’s that simple! I like keeping ingredients separated, so they don’t become soggy. Let me know what you think!

While I was waiting for my crew in the hotel lobby, in walks a classmate I haven’t seen since graduation – May 2013! It’s always so wonderful seeing fellow FAs and classmates on my layovers!

It was a gorgeous day in SFO – just a bit windy, though. We first went to Fisherman’s Wharf and stopped at The Codmother Fish & Chips (2824 Jones Street) for lunch. It was absolutely delicious! The batter was light and crispy, and they give you malt vinegar sauce to make it even better! I also had the Real Stink fries doused with garlic and parmesan. Mmmmm MMM!!

We continued on to see the playful seals on the way to Pier 39. We watched 2 of them take turns pushing each other into the water! All along the pier area, we saw many street performers and street vendors.

I even had a local tasty treat – a churro!

Finally, we went to Chinatown just before heading to the hotel for a nap as we were flying the red eye back to Charlotte. I remember I needed a wok, and what better place to look for a good wok than in Chinatown, right? Well, bingo! I found a large 14″ flat-bottom wok for only $25! Guess what my family members are getting for Christmas? 🙂

We had a fantastic crew complete with a new hire who was out on the line for only 2 weeks. I was more than happy to help him take care of first class, as he worked the A position. He did a fantastic job, and I was so proud to fly with him! Although I’m a little over a year old, I still get so excited every time I get a trip!
