Steps:
- Brown beef or turkey, add about 4-6 shakes of Tabasco sauce, depending on how hot you want it.
- Drain kidney beans, mix in with meat and cook on low for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
- Remove meat/bean mixture from heat and let cool.
- While the meat is cooling, chop lettuce and dice onion.
- Combine both dressings in bowl and set aside.
- Mix all ingredients except dressing in a large bowl. *If you aren't going to eat it all right away, put chips on each serving instead of mixing them with the salad; they will get soggy and gross if you refrigerate the chips in the salad.
- Add dressing then mix again. *I use a big bowl with a lid so I can just throw all ingredients in the bowl, cover with the lid and shake it.
- Notes: I made this once without beans, and it was not good at all. I don't like beans so I pick them out before I eat it.

Tips:

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different proteins. In addition to ground beef, you can also use shredded chicken, turkey, or tofu. You can even use a combination of proteins.
- Make your own taco seasoning. It's easy to do and tastes much better than store-bought seasoning. Simply combine chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

- Top your taco salad with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro.
