  I like to use a 100 calorie dorita chip bag, crush it up and add to the taco salad-no shell - this saves calories and still gives the crunch. - 1/3/10

  I do mine sometimes without a shell to save on calories and carbs, just load up my plate with lettuce. Its a nice quick refreshing dinner ot make in the summer time. - 6/29/09

  There are a million great variations of this. It tastes great without the added chips. Throw in more fresh veggies to add crunch. We skip the sour cream and just use salsa as a dressing. Sliced avocado adds a nice touch. - 7/27/09

  Good recipe- I always brown my ground beef then rinse it in a collander before adding the spice packets. This rinses away extra fat. - 1/28/10

  I make a similar salad but use romaine lettuce, black beans, and veggie grounds instead of meat. Also use Pace Picante (medium) and low fat sour cream, low fat cheese, and throw in 1/2 avocado (guac made with lime juice, salt, and minced garlic). Of course you have to add some Chalula or Tapatio! - 1/13/10

  This is good. But I also use my own spices to reduce sodium. If you want to make it healther to can use fresh herbs and spices as well as using baby spinch or greens instead of lettuce. When I do use the shell usually 1 is enough. But its a family fav, because every one can change it a little - 1/11/10

  I make a taco salad similar to this recipe but with ground turkey instead of beef, and I use my own seasonings (chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and cayenne pepper) to keep the salt low. I also use Kraft fat free cheddar cheese and add some fresh corn (cut off the cob or frozen). - 8/22/10

  I don't care for sour cream, so I mixed my salsa with 1 T low-fat miracle whip. It made for a wonderful dressing. My husband like it too. - 1/20/12

  For those of you who enjoy sour cream on your taco salad, try substituting nonfat plain greek yogurt for the sour cream. We mix salsa and greek yogurt together to use as a dressing for the taco salad. - 3/8/11

  There are so many things I can't eat in this because of a banded stomach and an intolderance for spicy things, but I think crushing the Doritos and not using shells, plus subbing with low fat cheese, will give me something I can digest.
  I'll try this, with my own substitutions. Thanks for this. - 1/30/11

  Instead of using beef or pork we use ground turkey at home. :) Its healthier not to mention yummy! I love this recipe :) - 10/14/10

  I made a few adjustments; I used Old McCormick's taco seasoning instead of Taco Bell's because Old McCormick's does not contain MSG. I also used spinach leaf instead of iceberg only because I prefer the flavor. This was a great recipe! Thanks for sharing. - 8/18/10

  i will make it but minus the prepackaged stuff. I am doing my best to cutout all MSG related products from entering my system. I make my own taco seasoning using cumin, chili powder and mexican oregano to taste. - 7/29/10

  If you wanted to make it vegetarian, you could substitute 1/2 cup brown rice with 1/2 cup black beans and saute that mixture in some taco seasoning mix instead of using ground meat. - 7/15/10

  i do exactly as described except we use Frito Lay chips (just a handful) instead of shells and I have to admit i use regular sour cream. Excellent and quick. - 6/13/10

  I love seeing everybody's hints. Making taco salad is easy, making it healthier with less calories & fat is the challenge. Lots of good ideas. - 5/29/10

  Incredible!
  
  This is a good basic recipe that can be altered to suit your tastes. I make it with one difference: instead of using crushed chips in the bowl (which get soggy), or a taco shell, I scoop up the salad with tortilla chips (along with a fork). With just a small amount of chips, you'll be satisfied. - 5/18/10

  Excellent. We'll make this one again. To save even more calories we used 96% lean ground beef and fat free shredded cheddar. - 3/21/10

  I have found that if you use ground chicken instead of beef it saves on calories but still gives a great flavor. This is great though. - 3/17/10

  Great idea Im going to make my own tonight. Lots of great ideas. I think I will do without the chips and pile on the veggies. That way I can have more cheese lol - 2/18/10
