Taco Salad

This is my mom's recipe. I'm not sure when she started making it. This is one she still makes when we go home for a visit because we all like it and it's easy to double for a large family gathering! Over the years I have added a couple of ingredients to our taco salad. My family does not like olive, but for those of you who do you can add them. I also like black beans in mine, but since most of my kids don't I typically leave them out! There are so many ways you can make this recipe your own! Enjoy!
