Longaniza Taco Salad

Cacique asked if I would be interested in taking part in a recipe contest along with some other wonderful food bloggers. The contest entails creating a dish that includes their Cacique Longaniza, Cacique Dos Quesos Blend and four more ingredients from a set list of ten different ingredients. I immediately said yes, accepting this challenge for two reasons. One, I love Cacique products and two, I find challenges like this loads of fun! If you are not familiar with Cacique, they have an extensive line of Mexican style cheeses, creams, chorizos and yogurt smoothies.
