Fabulous recipe :) My daughter, husband and I all loved it! And it was just the recipe I needeed today after staying up late last night! I did season the beef with taco seasoning and while it simmered I got the toppings together. I sat out sour cream, salsa, and jalapenos in addition to what was listed.

You can't go wrong with this great basic for a quick lunch or for dinner. I substituted the beef for Madras Lentils which is a lentil, kidney bean, and tomato substitute for tacos. Instead of corn chips I crunch up taco shells. Excellent and quick lunch or dinner.

Yummy and easy too! I make my own taco seasoning mix to add to the beef (4 teaspoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/2 cup water).

Pretty good. Added taco seasoning and garlic powder to meat. Also used sliced olives and salsa. Topped with a dollop of sour cream.

This is one of my favorite meals because it's so quick for me on a busy day and my boys love it because....we'll, they're getting chips for dinner! I health it up a bit and use ground turkey, my own homemade taco seasoning and I add chopped organic peppers and sometimes shredded carrot or zucchini to the taco meat. You can even sub half organic black beans for half the meat or double it to include the black beans in the taco meat to really make it stretch for a big family (or big eaters, like mine!). I also make my own salsa to go over the top. This can be made "lighter" with lowfat cheese and fat free sour cream without much difference in flavor. Try this with organic flavored taco chips, too! Even better!

very basic recipe, we add taco seasoning, and for a healthy alternative to beef, we use ground turkey. My kids love to use flavored tortilla chips like taco doritos or nacho cheese flavor.

Very quick to make, very easy to clean up! I used frito's instead of corn chips... making it almost a walking taco :) It was great & a big hit!

I have always loved this recipe because it is really good and really easy! I used ground turkey instead of beef, added a can of black beans (rinsed and drained), a can of corn (drained), added taco seasoning (low sodium)to the meat, omitted the taco sauce and added sour cream. Perfection! Can't wait to eat the leftovers today!

A friend of mine made this recipe while we were in college. The difference was she added catalina dressing, AND instead of regular tortilla chips, she used Doritios. This is my favorite taco salad.
