Easy Taco Salads
Easy Taco Salads – Love these easy salads filled with taco beef, kidney beans, and topped with Catalina dressing and all the fixings!
These Easy Taco Salads are one of my favorite recipes to make! Looking at this photo totally makes me want to make these again! Even as a child I loved taco salads. It’s a nice little change from regular tacos with the addition of kidney beans and Catalina dressing. Pile on any fresh veggies you like and you are set! If you are watching what you’re eating, it’s easy to use ground turkey too.
They would make a really great work lunch too. Just pack up everything separately and you are good to go!
I might just have to make these again this week! I need quick and easy as usual. My daughter has cheer practice every day but Wednesday. On Wednesday, we have church. We leave on Friday to head to New Orleans for her competition. It will be her first one! She’s on a “mini” team. They are just so precious! I’m so excited!
Hope you have a great week! I’ll be back later in the week with an awesome pizza!

This looks like the perfect dinner to start the week with, Jaren!
I love putting a flavor like Mexican that I am craving into a salad. It is a fabulous way to enjoy the flavor without the calories. I would adore this salad right now.
Mexican of any kind is always a winner in our house! I love the looks of this salad!
Love Mexican style food and when I can scoop t with a chip I am even happier.
This reminds me of one of the salads my mom used to make growing up. I loved it! She served it with 1000 island but I’m loving the Catalina in this one 🙂
Love this, Jaren! In college, my roommates and I used to make taco salads all the time, but I haven’t had one in years now! I need to change that!
I love taco salad and I love how easy your taco salad is to make! 🙂
I LOVE taco salad! In fact, it’s my very favorite kind of salad. Your version looks great, Jaren!
