How to make taco salad?

My birthday is coming up and I thought about making taco salad. I had it once when I was 19, but I'm in my 30's now and can't remember how it was made. What I think is everything needed to make tacos...meat, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, taco chips or shells, refried beans, and the taco seasoning. ALL that, plus whatever else ya like, mixed together in a big pot and the taco shells broken up and mixed in, and then heated.

Does that sound right? I was also thinking of putting ranch dressing on it, not sure. What do you all think?? I want to make a good meal for the family on my birthday!

    That's exactly it. Same thing as making normal tacos but you break up the shells and put them in. Generally people use sour cream as the 'dressing,' not sure how Ranch would be, probably good though. You can also add salsa, rice, or anything else you desire.

    My mother makes a KILTED JOSE. haha. It is the BEST simple taco salad ever!! Here's the recipe:

    Burger

    Taco seasoning (not really necessary, but if you like it than sure)

    Onion

    Can of black beans

    Head of lettuce

    Cheddar cheese

    Fritos (NOT generic!)

    Cook the burger and some diced onion. Drain if needed. Drain black beans and put in the burger/onion. Cook until beans are hot. Cut lettuce and put on a plate. Crunch Fritos ontop of the lettuce. Put the bean burger onion mixture ontop. Put cheese and toppings of choice ontop. Then top with salsa.

    OR you can just get a taco bowl shell from the store. IDK i make kilted joses allll the time, so im not sure how to the otherway. Taco salad is kind of a give away just make taco and put on lettuce :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
