Good recipe for a taco salad?!
Answers: My work is having a mexican potluck and I offered to bring taco salad. So I need it to be a cold taco salad to feed about 15 - 20 people. All recipes would be great... I want to try and keep it as simple but yet yummy as possible!

2. MICHELE'S FAMOUS TACO SALAD
1 lb. ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
1 head of lettuce, cut in long lengthwise strips
3-4 sliced scallions
3-4 diced fresh tomatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup corn chips
fat free Catalina salad dressing
tortilla bowls (optional)
Brown ground beef in a skillet, drain fat, add taco seasoning mix and prepare as directed on package. Set aside.
In a large salad bowl combine: cut lettuce, sliced scallions, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, seasoned ground beef, corn chips, and salad dressing.
Toss gently and serve immediately in tortilla bowls.
Make the taco at home, I like to add a can of hot dog chili to mine when I am making a taco salad. Then put it in a crock pot on warm when you get to work.
Bring all the fixings you need Diced tomatoes, Shredded lettuce, diced onions, shredded cheese, sour cream, and use corn chips for the salad base. Put everything on the side.
Then everyone can make their own
Make a regular salad and add what you want in it. Cook your hamburger meat and add your taco seasoning to it. Instead of regular nachos , use Doritos and add more cheese if you like. If you use hot peppers and onions I would put them in separate bowls, that way if people don't like that stuff it won't be in there. If you have a microwave you can heat up re fried beans. It's easy and it's good. I love it. Enjoy :-)
