Taco salad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The taco salad is a Mexican inspired dish whereby the classic taco taste is enjoyed in an alternate form. Taco salad is pretty much the contents of a taco on a bed of lettuce instead of a tortilla. Some forms of taco salad are served in an edible tortilla shell bowl.
