3 lb. lean ground Beef
3 env. taco seasoning
1 cup warm water
2 1/2 cups cut tomatoes
2 pkgs. shredded lettuce
2 pkgs. Tostitos chips
1 extra large bag shredded cheese
1 very large bowl
HIDDEN VALLEY® Ranch dressing (optional)

Brown beef in a large skillet until golden brown. Drain beef then put back in skillet at a low heat, add taco seasoning and stir in warm water until the meat is thick.

Put lettuce in the bowl first, followed by your meat, and then your cut tomatoes and shredded cheese. Crush the Tostitos chips up and add them to your mix. Mix all together and you have your taco salad.

To add a little zest to your mix, scoop some in a bowl and add HIDDEN VALLEY® Ranch. Just a little now. Until you see a little bit of white to it.
