Taco Pasta Salad

I love tacos and I love taco salad. I also love my pasta, so why not combine my loves together and make taco pasta salad.

This salad makes a lot, but it is easy and of course delicious. If you want to make this ahead of time, just wait to add the dressing until right before serving or the lettuce will get soggy.
