Taco salad is fast, easy, and delicious. It makes a great snack, dinner, or lunch that the entire family will love. In this recipe, we use 2 types of cheeses – Monterrey and cheddar. You, of course, can use any cheese of your choice. We prefer the old cheddar because it has a nice bite. The Monterrey Jack adds a mild smooth texture. Parmesan, or even mozzarella, will produce good results, as well. Another suggestion is to avoid using any type of spiced tortilla as it will alter the taste of the seasoning. You can buy the taco seasoning in a pouch at your local supermarket. We use our own homemade taco seasoning. We prefer this as you can add or delete spices according to your taste. As always, you can adjust things according to your taste. Give this taco salad a try today. We are sure you will enjoy it.
