I was not prepared for how much my family would enjoy this VERY simple recipe! And I loved the flavor of the ranch dressing with the meat! Will definitely make again--but I will double the recipe next time. (my family was fighting over what was left!)

We used low fat taco sauce rather than Ranch dressing. It was still very good.

My fiance loved this, I don't really care for taco related food but he enjoyed it. We used sour cream instead of ranch dressing. He said it was perfect.

Really good. Slight variation from my regular taco salad recipe but the whole family loved it.

FANTASTIC! I made it with ground turkey and low sodium taco seasoning to make it a little healthier and it still tasted great! So quick and easy.

I LOVED this recipe so did my husband and our guests we had over... I didn't like the ranch on it so I used a creamy cilantro dressing and that was prefect! I also added cilantro to the salad, it was a perfect touch... very yummy and will definitely make again!

Fantastic recipe! Used ground turkey instead of ground beef, used fat free ranch dressing and reduced fat cheddar cheese. Wonderful easy recipe that both my boyfriend and I enjoy very much! Great for a quick weeknight dinner. Next time I will make the ground turkey ahead of time to save time during the week!
