This is very similar to the Taco Salad that was popular back in the 1970s. Only 3 simple changes are needed to re-create what I call Classic Taco Salad omit the corn, use corn chips not tortilla chips, and ditch the salad dressing. Back then we used Taco Sauce, which was available in larger grocery stores everywhere. Now, the only thing close to it is Taco Bell's sauce - which you can buy at the grocer or follow my older sister's lead save up all those extra packets you seem to end up with after a visit to the Taco Bell drive through. By the way, my vegan nieces like this to. Just eliminate the meat - they like to crumble extra firm tofu with taco seasoning - and sub in grated ceddar soycheese . I am not a fan of the soycheese, but taco seasoned tofu is not too darn bad.

This recipe is good with corn chips instead of tortilla chips. I also prefer Catalina or Russian dressing in place of French. Some people prefer salsa instead of dressing. This is great when feeding a large group. Yum!

You can substitute a can of mild chili beans for the kidney beans. Just yummy and makes a lot!

It's also great if you serve it with the meat still hot - or, at least, still warm. Kind of wilts the lettuce, which we like.

I have eaten taco salads and have made my own from my own recipe by adding different spices until I got it just like my family likes it. But this looks and sounds so good that I am going to try it on my family tonight. I will tell you how all turned out after we have eaten it. Thank you so much.
