Taco Braid Recipe Requested by Host

I have a host that has requested a Taco Braid. She says that she has had this at a show before. It sort of sounds like the mexican fiesta pizza filling just in a braid, but I dont have the actual recipe. Does anyone know what this may be or have the recipe

Taco RingI had this one on my computer, but it is for a ring, not a braid so I don't know if it is what you are looking for or not. You could always put the filling in abraid though. Hope this helps
