EASIER-THAN-MAKING-TACOS TACO SALAD

Easier-Than-Making-Tacos Taco Salad image

I've always loved tacos but I think the assembling part can be a pain, especially if I'm making mine and the kids' because they were too small to make their own. Once I had taco salad this way, I never made tacos again! (Salsa pictured in my photo is recipe #97428) I have found that squeezing some lime juice over the prepared salad makes it even better! YUM!!
