The great thing about taco salad is that its an easy meal to make and everyone loves it because everyone can make their own little salad on their plate and choose exactly what goes into it. For example, my husbands salad, ends up being a lot less salad and more like a taco, (sometimes even is a taco, tortilla and all) where I’m more likely to include the lettuce.
This shredded beef taco salad is extra easy to make because the beef is cooked in the slow cooker using Campbell’s® Shredded Beef Taco Slow Cooker Sauce. My slow cooker is one of my favorite kitchen tools, but I forget to use it more often, when I do grab it out, I wish I used it every day because of how easy it is, and how much I love having a delicious meal ready at the end of the day with minimal work.
This taco salad is made by layering your choice of chips (tortilla, nacho cheese, ranch, etc), lettuce, and your shredded beef, then top it with your choice of toppings. Some good topping choices are corn, black beans, tomatoes, olives, avocado, cheese, and then topping it with sour cream, salsa or your choice of salad dressing. Like I said, this is the perfect meal for everyone because they can make it their own and make it their own way.
