I added black olives (diced), green onion (diced), sharp cheddar cheese, ground chuck - not round, dash of taco seasoning, and topped off with sour cream. I also prefer iceberg lettuce to romaine. You can also use a grated Mexican blend cheese.
I've started using Hidden Valley Ranch Southwest Spicy Ranch dressing on my taco salad and it is wonderful! I highly recommend!!!
Usually when I make taco salad it ends up being a messy ordeal with a lot of ingredients. My fiance and I love taco salad, and this was delicious. Much fewer ingredients than my traditional taco salad, and the clean-up was not bad at all. I recommend adding ranch dressing at the very end.
add a few slices of avocado for more taste. you can also make with chicken instead of beef, and vary the kind of chips. yum
This salad really was quite simple! And tasty, to boot. And easy to clean up. A win all around! I have to confess, I had never before had a taco salad. I'm a huge fan of tacos, but I had never had the ingredients assembled into a salad, which is really what this is - a twist on a taco recipe. My fiance and I are kind of taco snobs, so I wasn't sure how we would like taco meat that wasn't made with taco seasoning. To our surprise, using the chili beans, chili powder and liquid from the diced tomatoes was more than enough to make the meat deliciously flavorful. The meat mixture, cheese, broken chips, drained tomatoes and lettuce made a fabulous combination, and we discovered that eating tacos with a fork is much less messy than the tradition way to eat them! We loved it!
We don't usually eat Taco Salad in our house because most taco seasonings found at the grocery store have MSG in them and my husband is violently allergic to MSG, so it's just one of those things I don't make. And I was a little skeptical that this recipe would be too simple and devoid of taste but I was MORE than pleasantly surprised by it; it was WONDERFUL! The chili beans, Ro-tel, and chili powder made for a perfect spice combo! The whole mixture tasted awesome. The chips and the cheese - things I almost always have on hand - made great toppings. And it really was SO easy. My husband loved it and we're both glad to have a taco salad recipe we can eat in this house again! This was so simple to make and clean-up was really easy - just a skillet and cutting board to throw in the dishwasher and a couple of cans to throw away or recycle. Definitely making this again soon!
