Terrific taco salad! Like others i added chips before serving. I ate right away and did not let this sit overnight. I used Aunt Betty's French Dressing recipe i found on here. Terrific stuff!

This recipe is a good one. The only thing that we did differant, was to put the chips in the bowls just before we ate the salad. That way the chips where still crunchy.

I definitely agree with LORIMAZ on the overnight refrigeration issue; unless of course you enjoy soggy salad. We like ours crisp, so I saw no need to prepare ahead of time. I did add more seasonings and onion to the beef mixture and the meal was a hit. Good recipe Susan!

Very good recipe! I added extra onions to the beef as it browned, as my family loves onions, and left it warm, since there was no need to let cool or to let the salad sit overnight. And instead of French dressing, I mixed Ranch dressing with a bit of taco sauce, and it worked out even better. Definitely a keeper.

This was pretty good. It think it needed a little more taco seasoning and/or chili powder to give it some "zing". I used Doritos instead of plain taco chips. Definitely Do Not put in the chips until you are ready to serve, they will just get soggy.

This is a great salad. I agree with another reviewer that you shouldn't let the chips sit in this salad overnight. We ate ours immediately and it was really good!

I was asked to bring a side dish to our Mother's Day gathering and stumbled across this. I used Fritos instead of tortilla chips and added an extra cup of cheese (I'm from Wisconsin so the more the better!). It turned out great. Everyone loved it. I found it's also good heated up. I'll definately be making this again!

First off----DO NOT REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT!!! What you can do is prepare the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onion & pepper ahead of time. The meat can be prepared ahead of time too. But toss in the dressing, chips and meat just before serving and you'll have a much better salad. I personally left out the onions & peppers and used Catalina dressing instead. It's a tasty salad if done right!

This is the best taco salad ever. Even better than Perkins' taco salad!

I have been making this taco salad for years, but instead of using French dressing, use Western dressing & also for tortilla chips, use Dorito Taco flavored chips. This gives it a little bit more flavor. My family & friends go crazy for this taco salad.
