This week for our #15minutesuppers group, we are talking quick salads. In the summer time it’s too hot to cook dinner and salads are a great way to keep it cool in the kitchen. This taco salad is probably one of my favorite meals to make. Not only do I love it, my family loves it and it can be made in just 15 minutes! Winning all around!
It does require a little bit of cooking, but just on the stove top and just for about 15 minutes. This salad is a great meal for picky eaters. You can personalize the toppings for each member of the family! I’ll be honest, my son loves the taco but hates the salad. So we skip the lettuce for him. But I know he will eat everything I put on his plate when it comes to taco salad. 🙂
