This is the best for a Super Bowl dish. Easy, filling, tasty, and A WINNER!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Truth be told, we could sit down in front of the big game and make quite a dent in this delicious taco salad all by ourselves! It's easy to make and very filling. Adding Italian dressing makes this different than other taco salad recipes. It's surprisingly delicious and brings a hint of tangy flavor.
