I love taco salad! I had it for the first time about 3 years ago. We were having a lunch party at my work and they were serving taco salad. I wasn't going to have any, because that just did not sound good to me. So, I decided to go down to the lunchroom to check out what was for dessert. Well, I walked in and I saw the "buffet style" table and something caught my eye. . . . . Fritos! I absolutely love Fritos and I hope some day they will come up with a "Baked" version, so I won't feel so bad about eating them. I have been a fan of all the "Baked" chips so far. In fact, I prefer some of them over the regular kind.
Anyway, back to taco salad, so the idea of putting Fritos on a taco salad convinced me to sit down and try some lunch. Well, I loved it and I have been eating it ever since. I have tried several different versions and adjust my recipe slightly each time, but this is my favorite version so far. Make sure to serve with Ranch Dressing - YUMMY.
