Taco shells with a creamy chicken salad filling
We love taco shells and I'm always looking for different ways to use them. Watching Jamie Oliver's 'Comfort Food' recently, I thought the salad dressing for his 'Insanity Burger' looked interesting so I thought I would try it as a taco shell filling. It was fabulous. We're having it again tonight!
