I made this as a quick lunch today. I used ground turkey instead of beef homemade taco seasoning and V-8 in place of the water. I also used homemade salsa and reduced fat sour cream. Because I'm eating low-carb I skipped the chips on my portion. NO LEFTOVERS. Read More

Definitely easy and tasty! This does make for a simple weeknight meal. I used lean ground beef and "Taco Seasoning II" from this site and didn't bother with the water just seasoned the beef and browned it. I de-seeded a few plum tomatoes before dicing and used a light Mexican blend cheese. I added some chopped black olives and green onion for a better presentation and cut back on the sour cream and chips using just enough for each salad. To lighten it up a bit I used light sour cream and baked chips... Read More

I tend to want to layer my taco salads with the lettuce on the bottom unless I am using a large taco shell for the base - that said - this is a fine recipe - the nutritional information was a little scary - I didn't use any where near the amount of sour cream, cheese & chips called for. Makes for a nice fast dinner. Read More

Such an easy salad for a quick dinner on a warm night. Cooked my black beans in with my ground beef and didn't need as much water as called for. For a great dressing try the avocado ranch dressing on this site. Read More

Very good. I've been making an almost identical taco salad for years that I had adapted from the taco salad that uses Catalina dressing and Doritios. I usually use a homemade taco seasoning for this. We layer the tortilla chips on first crunch them down with our hands and add whatever toppings we desire-I serve them separately. We like the black beans better than kidney beans and I usually have some I've cooked from dried in the freezer. A nice quick relatively cool easy meal during the summer. Read More
