Taco Bowl with Creamy Chipotle Dressing is a southwestern salad. Great flavor with a little bit of spice. It is an easy and quick dinner.

I have been trying out some new recipes lately. I have come across some great ones. With working and watching Little Thing, I don’t always have as much time as I want to cook. So I have been looking for some easier and faster recipes. This Taco Bowl with Creamy Chipotle Dressing was a great one. The dressing was a little hot for me, but The Hardworking Husband really liked it. So if you like spicy, you will really like it. If you are a wimp like me, you will want to tame it down or replace it with a different dressing. I think I am going to make extra of the dressing and keep it on hand for him. I’m sure he will like it on other things too.
