TACO SALAD

Taco Salad is a family favorite.

I have made this taco salad for years and my entire family loves it.  This taco salad is a meal by itself.  If you have a busy night, this is the perfect meal. You can chop up all the vegetables while the meat cooks and you will have a great meal in 15-20 minutes.
