Sensational Taco Salad

"This is the best taco salad I have ever had. One would not think Catalina dressing belongs on this dish - but I believe that single ingredient is what puts this salad over the proverbial top. I got this recipe from a friend of a friend of a friend, and I was hesitant to try it, but I am so glad I finally did! My kids love this salad! You can adjust the ingredients to suit your own tastes, and I love recipes that easily let you do that, especially when there is someone who dislikes an ingredient or favors one over another. As you can see, I have left the actual measurements of most of the ingredients up to your taste and imagination."

  • When meat is done, add to the bowl (on top of the chips).
