I made this up with ingredients I had when I needed something to take to a Cinco de Mayo luncheon. It has the ingredients of a layered taco dip, but the addition of lettuce makes it like a salad. The best of both worlds!

BEST TACO SALAD!
I got this recipe from a friend more than 20 years ago and it remains a family favorite espcially on hot summer days. I cook the beef early in the morning. Sometimes even chop all of the ingredients then, too, so all I have to do is throw everything together when it is time for dinner. Teenagers especially love this. That is a bonus! Have yet to find anyone who doesn't love this super easy salad for dinner.
