For as long as I can remember taco salad has been my favorite meal.  In my family, the birthday girl always got her favorite dinner on her birthday.  Yep, you guessed it I always asked for taco salad.

As I've gotten older one thing remains the same.  Taco salad is still my favorite dinner.  A few things about it have changed, though.  Now I add more lettuce and veggies to my salad and I try different kinds of taco salad not just the traditional (for me) made with ground beef.  In celebration of my birthday (which is, Friday) I've compiled a round-up of my taco salad recipes.  I hope this inspires you to try taco salad and not be afraid to experiment with new flavors.
