Made this taco salad to take to my DBIL's birthday party and it was a hit. I added the 1/4 cup of water to the ground beef and taco seasoning mixture but it still seemed to dry so I added another 1/4 cup and it was a lot better. Do be sure to rinse and drain the black beans well before adding and dont heat to long. I used plain tortilla chips and I think after adding the dressing we had a sweeter salad than what we would have had with Doritos or Fritos and the light dressing. Thank you for posting DesertRose15!
