Instead of stuffing those taco shells, whip up this Layered Taco Salad instead.  It's just perfect for lower-fuss taco night prep, or for whipping up a tasty salad for a crowd!

I remember back as a kid I used to love when Mom made tacos for dinner.  I just loved the flavor combination of tasty taco ingredients, and the crunch of biting into that crispy taco shell.  I mean, we're pretty hard-pressed to find a kid who doesn't love tacos, right?
