This sounds delicious, and I'm a vegetarian so I like that it's meatless. Thanks for the recipe (:

I am a big meat eater so if you don't mind I'll add some chicken or buffalo meat !!

I've never tried buffalo, but chicken would be good. I'm a girl, so I could live a near-meatless existence were it not for the fact that I live with carnivores ; )

I love taco salad (any salad, really ;) - I do like to add meat, though. If you can't do without the meat, you can mix some ground turkey (browned, of course) with sour cream and a sprinkle of taco seasoning. I'm getting hungry and it's still a couple of hours until lunch...
