    Good
    I changed this recipe somewhat because I'm on a controlled diet...I used ground turkey instead of sirloin and taco sauce instead of catalina dressing. I rinsed the canned kidney beans before adding them. And I made my own taco seasoning to cut down on salt. It was AWESOME! Great idea! - 2/8/10

    Looks delish! Extra lean ground turkey or bison would cut down on the fat and calories without sacrificing taste or protein. - 2/6/10

    Incredible!
    Great, light way to enjoy taco salad. Very filling and relatively low in calories if you go easy on the beef and tortilla chips and heavy on the veggies. Also great topped with homemade salsa instead of just tomatoes! - 1/30/10
