Description

A quick and flavorful Doritos taco salad loaded with seasoned beef, fresh veggies, cheese, and crunchy chips tossed in tangy Catalina dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion (finely diced)
  • 1.5 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 2 tomatoes (chopped)
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce (chopped)
  • 16 fl oz Catalina dressing
  • 1 bag nacho cheese tortilla chips (crushed)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning

Instructions

1. Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.

2. Add taco seasoning to the cooked beef, following packet directions (usually adding water and simmering). Set aside to cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, combine seasoned beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and shredded cheese. Mix well.

4. Refrigerate the mixture until ready to serve.

5. Just before serving, add Catalina dressing and toss to coat evenly.

6. Fold in crushed Doritos and serve immediately for best crunch.


Notes

Crush Doritos just before serving to keep them crispy.

You can substitute ground turkey for a lighter option.

Add beans, olives, or corn for extra texture and flavor.

Adjust dressing amount based on preference.
