This was a simple dish and very good but I made a few changes to suit my family. I added some chopped onion and jalapeno to the ground beef as it was browning. I didn't use any green pepper(we don't use it on tacos)and added olives. I also used the dressing from another recipe, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup salsa or taco sauce and a few drops of hot sauce(tapatio, tabasco). Yummy.

This is very tasty and easy. I used Italian dressing instead and added some avacado. This is great for a quick meal.

very nice. of course, as everyone else has pointed out, you should not make it the night before, but combine ingredients just before serving.

I used to make this a long time ago. I used a bottle of catalina dressing and a bag of doritos(ala minute).It makes ALOT and looks bad, but tastes great and gets many compliments!

This was gone before people had a chance to realize it was there! I heeded the advice of others and did not refrigerate overnight. I used Taco flavor doritos which gave it kick and didn't mix everything until the last minute to ensure it wasn't soggy. I crushed the chips and put them in a container, put the hamb./veggs. in separate containers, brought containers and a bottle of dressing to the barbeque, and mixed everthing when I got there. It was PERFECT ...only disappointment was that it went so quickly!!

Delicious! I agree with others that you don't want to refrigerate this salad over night, as the lettuce and chips will obviously become soggy. I did, however, prepare the items separately the night before and simply threw them together the following evening for a quick dinner. I also made my own dressing. The only comment my husband made was to cut down a bit on the onion and peppers and to add a can of kidney beans. It's really worth trying!

I have also been making this recipe for a few years now, but I prefer to use the Catalina dressing. And refrigerate overnight?? That had to be a misprint. Soggy lettuce, soggy cheese, soggy chips... gross. I assemble it all, and add the dressing shortly before serving, and put the cheese on last. This is an excellent dish to serve with quesadillas.

This is very, very good. I use the bagged lettuce. I do not know what the refrigerate overnight business is about. Why would anyone want soggy tortilla chips on purpose? This is easily customizable. I use Catalina dressing. Very fun recipe for us to make.

This was an excellent recipe. I substituted turkey burger, fat free cheese, low fat dressing, and baked tortilla chips. It was amazing. My husband and I love it.

This is a perfect use for left-over taco meat. We served this over shredded lettuce minus the green pepper and rather than mixing it up, we made sort of an assembly line, everyone adding what they like. Also, a dressing of equal amounts of picante sauce and ranch dressing is fabulous on this salad. Thanks for sharing.

This salad is just what I was craving! I took the advice of others and added 1 avocado & 1 can drained kidney beans. I used Nacho cheese Doritos instead of the plain ones. Too much onion - I used 1/2 onion istead. And most importantly - SERVE IT IMMEDIATELY. The chips and lettuce get soggy.

I have also been making this for years, and I would have to agree with a previous review, that this salad tastes best with Western Salad Dressing (not quite the whole bottle) and Taco flavored Doritos. I also prepare just before serving. I always add a can of chili beans undrained and chopped avocado and sliced black olives. I don't put the chips in until the last second. This gets soggy quickly. Sometimes I omit the meat and nobody notices. Sometimes I add chopped green onion instead. Whew, this is sounding like a whole other recipe! But, it's really just versatile. Anyway, this is ALWAYS the first to go at potlucks.

It had a good flavor and it's what I remember at church picnics growing up, but I think then I would just eat little bits with other things and that is what made it so delicious. Having it just for a meal almost made me sick because it was too much. I wasn't to crazy about the french dressing I used, but I'll experiment with that. Things always taste better when someone else makes it. :-) This was overall a great recipe and I think I'll make it again.

This was good, everyone ate full portions and said that they would be happy with it again. Not enough to cause great excitement so I will give it four stars. I did wait and add the chips (Taco Dorito's) when I was serving and have to agree that is the way it needs to be done. All in all would be good once a month.

My version is very close and has been a family favorite for years. Never refrigerate overnight , too soggy. I use cheese flavored Dorritos and add them last. I also add 1 can chopped black olives and 1 can red kidney beans (rinse), very good. Great dish for potluck.

I used chicken instead of beef which worked great. Definatley did what others said, dont make it the night before, save the tortilla chips till you serve, and it tastes the best slightly warmed. It was Great!
