Taco Salad

I love making Taco Salad! It's so easy and quick to make especially if I have left over ground beef seasoned in taco seasoning! I usually cook a lot of ground beef in taco seasoning and use some for tacos and freeze the left over for a different dish later on. Most of the ingredients in this recipe are stocked in my fridge all of the time like cheese, lettuce, green onion, tomatoe and ranch dressing.
