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.

Taco salad one of my favorites
Great idea to use the taco seasoning to flavor the meat!! Thanks!
I cook 3 pounds of hamburger with taco seasoning—-use one in taco salad..divide the remaining hamburger into 2 c0ontainers and freeze—when I need a quick meal, there it is—pop the microwave and in minutes there is another taco salad—–it has been over 100 degress for much of of summer here in Mo so I am getting pretty good at “cool kitchen meals”
This is my favorite recipe from my aunt. We use Catalina dressing and serve it warm – YUM!
