only difference I did to it was I used some zesty cheese and some nacho cheese doritos. but I have been looking for a while for this particular recipe -
I've had this salad before but the only change is that it was made with sauteed chicken instead of the beef and it was very very good as well! Can't wait to try the beef! Must try if you like mexican!! Hint: Do not mix this up until ready to serve, it will be too soggy. Mix and serve immediately! -
Mrs Thompson to be... I think she meant light, as in not a heavy dinner. Not light in calories. However, I have to say this sounds yummy with the ranch. I've always made this with Catalina, and I think the ranch would be worth a try! -
Light summer dinner?? 150g of fat and over 1800 calories per serving is NOT a light summer dinner! This sounds REALLY tasty, and with some major alterations I might try it some day. But I have to wonder if the entire bottle of ranch dressing is meant to go in? Seems a little much... -
We made this last night and LOVED it!!! Better than my previous taco salad attempts by a mile. We added in a can of pinto beans to the ground beef mixure, and I didn't mix everything together so it wouldn't get all soggy and wilty- worked perfect. Can't wait to make this again (and again, and again...). Thanks so much for the recipe!
