Probably kinda silly to post a recipe for this, but made it tonight and my family loved it! Decided to add to blog so I remember to make it more. Would be a great summer meal. The recipe calls for fritos. Instead of adding chips to salad I had a bag of Fritos and Doritos and let each person decide. I also didn't add the dressing because some wanted Ranch instead. I added black beans. I think corn would be good too. I had turkey on hand so that is what I used. Didn't use a whole packet of taco. Tasted great!
