Quick and Easy Taco Salad Recipe

Taco Salad– This salad has the familiar flavor of tacos that everyone loves, but it is the yummy sauce that makes it extra special!

Being that it has been a little hectic at my house lately, I have been making lots of fast and easy meals. This taco salad is one of my favorites.

I love serving main dish salads, so as soon as the sun started shining, I put this on our menu. We had it last night and I forgot how much I love it.

It’s loaded with texture and flavor, and so hearty that it even keeps my boys satisfied. The creamy sauce takes it over the top!

We had a little bit of leftovers, and my husband was nice enough to let me have them all to myself for lunch today. Which is good because I didn’t really want to have to fight for them. But I would have if I had needed to. Good thing he is such a gentleman. 🙂

Thanks to my friend Judy for this great recipe. It is just sooo yummy!
