Took this to a potluck and brought home an empty bowl. It's a hit! Threw some black olives on top. Definitely use corn chips in the salad. More authentic. Eat Doritos later buy themselves. This brought back fond memories of one of my fav'rit potluck staples a lady in our church was famous for. Yeah! Now I have my own!

This was delicious! We didn't use tomatoes (hubby doesn't like them) and used ground turkey, but I would go with ground beef next time for fuller flavor. We also added some fresh avocado, and that went great with it. This is incredibly, easy, budget friendly, and incredibly tasty! The ranch dressing is a great addition to the taco seasoning!

I used Doritoes, added a 1/2 of a small jar of mild salsa and added avocado and olives. Very good.

Absolutely delicious!! I made a couple substitutions (ground turkey for beef, corn chips for flavored ones) but everything came out wonderfully. The ranch dressing + taco mix combo is outstanding. The flavor resembles "cool ranch" chips or the "baja" sauce at a certain taco chain. Will definitely make this again!

I thought this was DELICIOUS! I was definitely worried about the outcome because I don't love ranch, but I tried it and I'm glad I did! I did make some changes though--I used ground turkey, an entire can of kidney beans, much less cheese (probably less than a cup) and no chips--we just made the mixture minus the chips and served it in totillas. I would definitely suggest adding all the ingredients minus the lettuce and putting it in the microwave for a minute or so because the cheese melts and becomes more of a creamy mixture. I also added some other taco toppings such as chiles and black olives. But a great recipe and the ranch isn't overpowering at all!!

Received this from Cooknik and it is outstanding. I made each salad individually in a bowl. Used plain tortilla chips, mixed greens (My husband requested spinach leaves for a fuller texture the next time we make this), and added chopped avocado. Hubby used the ranch dressing and loved it. I used Catalina dressing and that is a wonderful combination for those of us who don't care for ranch dressing.
