Probably real similar to many Taco Salad recipes out there, but made some changes for my fiance and hope everyone can enjoy it as we do! We eat this as a main course fast meal, so the serving size is an estimate. Goes great for informal parties too! *Sometimes I let the meat cool down and sometimes I mix everything while hot! *The Taco Bell Medium Taco Sauce gives it a little heat. I have prepared it with mild and medium and I prefer the medium blend. *I use about 4/5 of the lettuce shreds but use your own judgement. I have used the whole bag before, I just find that after you refrigerate the more lettuce you have used the more soggy it is going to seem. *Add tomatoes if you choose - my fiance is not a fan of tomatoes so I've never made it with tomatoes.
