I make this once a week using 2% Milk Reduced Fat Cheddar and I substitute taco sauce for the ranch dressing (although my husband still uses ranch). I eat about one serving, he eats about two, and there is one leftover to make for lunch the next day. Best salad ever!! :)

This is a good quick recipe. I like to substitute salsa and sour cream for the ranch.

Everyone in the family loved this! We added avacado and sour cream. I think I might skip on the hassel of real tacos and use this recipe instead. :)

Good stuff. Very easy and filling. Made with lean ground turkey. Also added drained/rinsed black beans for added protein and fiber. Will def make again.
