  • Stir together Taco Ranch Dressing and salsa. Moisten chicken with 1 tablespoon prepared taco dressing mixture. Combine cheeses in small bowl, set aside. Coarsely chop salad blend and combine with dressing mixture. Toss with cheeses and chicken.

  • Fill each tortilla cup with heaping 1/3 cup salad mixture. Garnish with black olives, tortilla strips and one small dollop sour-cream.

I didn't have a single problem with this recipe. I will say I DID worry about making the tortilla bowls but it turned out just fine without a hitch. Because I do NOT buy pre-packaged kits I made my own taco salad bar with seasoned taco meat shredded lettuce chopped tomatoes salsa sour cream cheese olives onions and a bag of corn chips. We all enjoyed making our own salads and it was a nice family dinner. I'd make this again--four stars on the recipe's direction on how to make taco salad bowls without deep frying. Read More

These were really yummy and super easy. I wasn't able to find the salad kit so I just made my own taco ranch and made a mix of my own cheese. I liked the idea of using the dressing on the chicken was a nice change of pace to the normal taco seasoning and the bowls were super easy to make and looked so cute. Read More
