In my opinion this is the ultimate taco salad recipe! We eat a lot of Mexican/Southwestern food in my home because I love the delicious flavors in it. This taco salad is full of exciting flavors that all blend so perfectly together. Anyone who tries this salad will want the recipe =). It is so simple to make! I love a good slow cooker recipe once in a while. Everyone have a great day and enjoy!
