This is the perfect thing to throw together during the work week. As a mother of 3 sometimes very hungry children, time is of the essance! My son doesn't eat tacos very well because the shell would fall apart on him. This recepie allows him to dive right in!

This was AMAZING- my favorite in a while! I never thought of having Ranch on my taco salad, but it works! YUMMY!!!

This might be my favorite Kraft recipe! It was delicious and easy. I followed it exactly except that I used packaged iceberg lettuce shreds instead of romaine, which worked out well. I served it with refried beans on the side.

I love Ranch dressing, but I didn't think it would be good over ground beef and salsa. Boy, was I wrong. So good, and the best part was the chips over the top!

I loved this recipe. I have made this recipe several times, but my favorite variation to this is to use Nacho Cheese Doritoes and Catalina Dressing. It gives it a different taste then the normal recipe.
