This is a great start/base recipe for taco salad. I followed this for the most part, and added the new "taco" flavored Doritoes vs the suggested chips.

Very good recipe. I made a little change and it was a hit! Instead of Tortilla chips I used Nacho Dorito's and Catalina dressing. SOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!

I admit I changed this up a bit. I cooked the bell peppers with the meat. I also took the suggestion of some other viewers and baked 10in flour tortillas in a corning wear pot in the oven until browned. I also skipped out on the dressing and we just used salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. I also did not refrig over night.

I served the ingredients individually and let people make their own. I finally mastered getting my ground beef to a fine texture using a potato masher to break it down while it cooked. I didn't refrigerate overnight.

Love this salad, it is quick, easy and versatile. I opted to make individual salad plates and layered the ingredients rather than mixing together. I wouldn't recommend refrigerating overnight since the lettuce and taco chips will probably get soggy. If you are not a fan of French dressing - try Ranch.

This is a good basic Taco Salad recipe. I love recipes like this where you can be creative and add the ingredients you like, and it comes out great every time! I used Romaine instead of Iceberg lettuce, and added small red beans, and a small can of Southwest corn. I also used Doritos and an 8 oz. bottle of Catalina Dressing. I made this for my daughter's birthday party, and it got rave reviews from everyone. It made a huge bowl, and there was only a tiny bit leftover. As other reviewers have said - Do NOT refrigerate overnight with the dressing and chips mixed in.

I used ground chicken instead of lean beef to make this delicious chicken taco salad. I also used "Taco seasoning I" from this website for the seasoning. I left out the cheese. While the chicken was cooking, I preheated my oven to 350, scrunched up some tine foil into a ball, placed it into a tin pan and sprayed it with PAM. I placed a whole wheat wrap on top and let its sides ripple over each other. I baked it for about 7 minutes and placed the salad and chicken into it and poured the dressing on top - Very satisfying and delicious!

I loved this and my 2 1/2 year old gobbled it down. I added black beans and olives and it was fantastic. The only thing it you really have to add the chips right before and chill the meat so it does not get soggy. Over all we loved this!!!

I made this for a 4th of July party today and it was a HIT! Unfortunately, I made this recipe about a year ago but accidentally gave another recipe the credit and my 5 star review. Sorry about that!! I added green onions but no onions or peppers. I also mixed iceburg and romaine (didn't have enough iceburg). Also used Catalina dressing Thanks for the recipe!

I've been making this for years and NO, do not refrigerate! Please don't forget to put in at least 1 ripe avocado, cubed and black olives. The dressing I've used for years is 1 small can tomato sauce mixed with about 1/2 cup Italian dressing or to taste. Don't pour the dressing on til the last minute. It's awesome and lighter than Ranch. Leftovers get soggy, though. Try it!

OH MY GOODNESS!!NEVER PUT THE LETTUCE AND CHIPS IN AND REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT!! (Unless you like soggy chips and soggy, slimey lettuce). Do everything else ahead of time, and refrigerate, THEN toss with lettuce and chips right before serving...

I haven't had this dish in a long time and can't remember why! It's easy, a bit time consuming chopping veggies but very tasty. I followed the recipe except instead of putting raw onions in the salad I sauted in pan with meat mixture. I used the Taco Seasoning Mix recipe from this site in this recipe. My family loves ranch dressing so I used the No Mayo Ranch Dressing recipe to top the salad. Finally used a 10" tortilla to make a taco bowl. Sprayed a small glass pyrex bowl with a cooking spray and draped the tortilla over it and baked at 375 for 9 minutes. Nice presentation!

I have done this recipe twice-once with ground beef and taco seasoning and once with ground turkey with 1/2 package Taco seasoning and some garlic & onion powder. Both times it came out good. I used Romaine lettuce instead of Iceburg and didn't use any onions. I also used Catalina dressing instead of French and just plain Cheddar cheese instead of the cheese blend in the recipe. Also DO NOT refrigerate overnight, the chips would get way too soggy. I put all the toppings out buffet style and put what we each like in each individual bowl since we all like different toppings. Also, I mix the dressing in with the toppings in each bowl before adding the beef.

This recipe is very good but I made a few changes thanks to some of the reviews I followed. I left out the bell pepper and used a can of sliced olives instead. I also used catalina dressing and mixed a 1/4 c into the meat mixture. Instead of tortilla chips I used Nacho flavored Doritos. I kept all the vegetables seperate too so when its time to eat we can put as much as we like in our own plates. We also topped it all off with a little ranch dressing and it was VERY tasty.

EXCELLENT! We did not wait until the next day to eat this. I used Taco Doritos, and Catalina dressing. I brought for lunch the next day, but was a little soggy and not as good as the night before.

Very good. Instead of French Dressing, I did use Catalina. I also cooked the onions in with the meat because I don't like raw onions. I also used Nacho Doritos instead of just plain tortilla chips. :) Don't add dressing, chips, and lettuce until you're ready to eat, they tend to get soggy! :)

mmmm I loved this just the way it was, even though I normally don't care for French dressing. I tried a little in the salad and was pleasantly surprised. Don't mix ahead of time...the best part of the salad is the 'CrUnCh' from the tortilla chips-so why you would want soggy lettuce and chips (from sitting overnight) is perplexng to me...and many other reviewers. Nonetheless, this salad is A+ :D

I kept all the ingredients separate until right before eating. I ommitted the green pepper and onion and used Catalina dressing and Doritos. It was really tasty. I will definitely be making it again.
