This time I put some chipotles, cumin, and garlic in with the meat. It gave the beef a nice kick. I also made a chipotle ranch dressing to go with it. The dressing was cool with a spicy finish that was perfect with the taco salad. I put the salad on top of tortilla chips and ate my salad with the chips. It was a great twist on one of my monthly favorites!
