1 small chopped onion
1 chopped red bell pepper
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 or 2 chopped tomatoes
drained and sliced olives (optional--your choice of amount)
1 small can kidney beans (drained)
16oz. shredded cheddar cheese
1 - 16oz. bottle French dressing
tortilla chips (crushed using your hands)
1 or 2 heads iceberg lettuce (washed and broken into bite sized pieces)

Prepare just a few minutes before serving (chilling all ingredients except the tortilla chips). In a bowl add chopped onion, chopped red peppers, chopped green peppers, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives and kidney beans--stir until mixed. In a separate bowl add lettuce. When ready to serve, add lots of lettuce to a dinner sized plate. Add a heaping serving of the kidney bean mixture. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, French dressing and crushed tortilla chips.
