Layered Taco Salad
"I invented this taco salad to please the kids," writes Betty Nickels from Tampa, Florida. "I've made it with ground beef, ground turkey or ground chicken and it's equally good—so you can easily adjust it to fit your family's preferences. It's quick to make and everyone seems to like it!"
