a childhood friend's mother made something like this (w/o the meat, and with hidden valley ranch), so was very excited to find this recipe!?! have made it many times as written, to much praise from others, but thought i would review it as my husband is TDY, so i made it with a meatless soy substitute -- and it is just as good (Lightlife Smart Ground Mexican Style seasoned veggie protein crumbles :)

This is a delicious, fresh recipe but is HUGE even when I cut the recipe in half. You would literally need a bucket to make this as written because of all the mixing required, but when I half it, I can use a very large bowl. I use ground turkey instead of beef and add taco seasoning to it while cooking. I add a can of drained and rinsed black beans and only 1 cup of cheese (for half the recipe). I also don't think you need quite the whole bottle of Ranch, but that depends on your taste.

This is great!! the only thing I did different was put the chips out separate with a little note by them to add to the salad, for a great taco taste. maryhhug is absolutely correct!! you can not make this mixed the night before. if you want to prep everything and keep the meat in a separate sealed container, the dressing in the bottle and the chips in the bag,warming up the meat slightly just before mixing it will work. you can't add meat, dressing and chips the night before without a soggy mess!

You are not supposed to make this the night before!! Lettuce will turn to mush.. this is a fabulous recipe, crowd pleaser, easy and tasty. Add beans, chopped avocado, grilled chicken if beef is not available..

This is really good ! I added taco seasoning to the meat and mixed the ranch dressing, picante sauce and sour cream together. I didn't have any fresh tomotoes so I used a can of rotel tomatoes, drained. Awesome flavor !

I love this recipe but I do add to it! I don't add the tortilla chips to it, I let people put fresh crispy ones on their own. I add two cans of drained kidney beans and I always brown the beef and add a packet of taco seasoning to it. Very good!!
