Brown ground pork in medium skillet; drain.  Add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Cook and stir on low heat until heated through and most of moisture is absorbed. Set aside.

For dressing, combine mayonnaise and hot sauce; mix well.

One large salad may be prepared where all ingredients are tossed together. For best quality, serve immediately.
