TACO SALAD

I got this recipe for taco filling years ago and I love it so much that I’ve never tried another recipe! I love that it has hidden finely chopped veggies in it (Yay! More veggies!) and the veggies add a delicious flavor and dimension to the filling! This is the taco filling that I use for not only taco’s but for taco salads and tostadas.
