My review
Joy's Taco Salad
Joy Valcarcel
"This is one of those 'some of this and some of that' recipes. I call this garbage salad because when traveling to a picnic I carry it in a medium (untreated) trash bag, and fill a container when there! You can substitute fresh jalapenos for the canned green chiles, if you like. Serve with whole chips on the side."

I don't know what I was expecting, but we thought this was just ok. The dressing was a little bit peculiar, and the meat was pretty boring. Some cumin and lime juice would probably have helped. ...

I would use more meat next time I made this recipe. I would also use taco sauce in place of the ketchup. Otherwise very yummy.
