I have mad early this so many times. You cannot go wrong!!!
Oh this recipe took me back to when I was little. One of our weekly dinners, which happened to be my favorite, was taco salad night! Where then, there was more chips than lettuce ;) Nowadays, I have swapped those too. I love the addition of corn in yours…gonna have to try it out next time around!
I love taco salad too. I don’t even usually put chips in mine or maybe just a couple. There is enough flavor in the other ingredients, but it is nice to have that crunch! Thank you, Meg :)
I hope you had an amazing day off! And hope your birthday was wonderful! My favorite recipes are always the oldies!
Thank you, Nancy! I of course ended up working that night, but at least my post was done for the day ahead of time. I hope you are having a good weekend!
Happy belated Birthday Andi!! You deserve more than just one day off :)
Thanks so much, Beth! :)

Thank you, Sherri! It was a good day, and today I went out to lunch and the nail salon with a friend. The birthday just keeps coming! :)
Happy, happy birthday, amazing Andi! Hope your boys spoil your rotten! And I laugh as I’m sitting here enjoying a taco salad for lunch today. Great minds think alike!
Thank you, Melanie! I bet you make a mean taco salad!
Happy Birthday, Andi! This looks awesome! I feel you with the photos. Sometimes certain foods are just harder to capture.
