LAYERED TACO SALAD

No meat in this taco salad! My husband and I love this so much we often have it as a meal by itself! Regular Dorito's are sometimes hard to find but taste much better in this salad than Tostito's or other white-corn chips.

LAYERED TACO SALAD

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
