Crunchy tortillas and cumin-flavored dressing give this southwestern-style salad its delicious flavor! With few ingredients and just 5 minutes to make – it’s a winner every time!
My kids have been really feasting on this salad for the last couple of days!
I am so glad I finally found a salad that they truly love and there’s no argument to be had when this delicious dish is offered. I call that a big win!
Admittedly, my kids were attracted to this salad mainly because of the tortillas but, hey, because of that they don’t mind eating the greens and tomatoes too (although the latter has always been a huge favorite of theirs).
So, if you get some good quality tortillas, I’d say it’s not at all that bad. They’re eating veggies! I’m cool with that!
For me and hubby, it’s the flavor and the crunch that really made us fans of this easy salad. And you can’t go wrong with 5 minutes of prep, too!
While this salad version has fully diverted away from the original version of a Taos Salad (yes it’s really Taos and not Tacos so I didn’t make any typo error!), that one having avocados, beans and perhaps even some chilis, etc. ), I’d say it’s a delicious twist to it.
What’s more, it’s such a breeze to prepare which makes it perfect for any party or gethering! Truly, your taste buds would also love the cumin-flavored dressing!

this salad has everything I love. I am really in to salads that have a lot of crunch to them at the moment.
Perfect salad…the dressing is scrumptious and so easy to make! It gets too damn hot to eat anything heavy for supper here in Austin, Texas. I cook during the week for my son’s family and this was a big hit with everyone including the grandchildren. (Sometimes I add black beans to this too.) I love when your recipes pop up in my feed. Thanks!

Such a tasty twist on Caesar salad!
This is absolutely delicious. I made it last night, and I think it’s going to be featured heavily in my Taco Tuesday rotation from now on.
This looks and sounds fabulous! Love this recipe.
This was such a hit! Loving all the ingredients!
This recipe is simple and tasty! I would definitely make it again. Thank you!
This Taos Tumble Salad is a colorful and flavorful mix of veggies and beans. I love that this is quick and easy to make in just 5 minutes!
I think my daughter would really love this! This is pretty much how she makes a regular salad, without the cumin and tortilla chips. I’m going to share this with her so she can try!
OOH this looks delicious! I never thought about adding crunchy tortillas to a salad before. Great idea!
Oh wow, this looks so delicious. My family is going to devour it!
