I invented this taco salad to make my kids happy. Make it with ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken and it's equally good. -Betty Nickels, Tampa, Florida

This layered taco salad is a great way to use up leftover taco meat and other ingredients. It's also a very versatile dish, so you can customize it to your own liking. I added some black beans and corn to mine, and it was delicious!
