Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have taco seasoning, you can use a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- For a spicier salad, add some chopped jalapeños to the mix.
- If you're making this salad ahead of time, leave off the tortilla strips and add them just before serving to keep them crispy.
