Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey/chicken
  • - 1 ounce or 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade equivalent
  • - 1 head of lettuce iceberg or romaine, chopped
  • - 1 cup halved tomatoes cherry or grape
  • - 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos crushed
  • - Catalina salad dressing

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, ensuring it's fully cooked.
  • Once the beef is browned, add in the taco seasoning along with the recommended amount of water. Stir to combine and let it simmer until the mixture thickens, around 5 minutes.
  • While the beef mixture is simmering, prepare the salad base by chopping the lettuce and halving the tomatoes. Place them in a large bowl along with any additional vegetables you wish to add.
  • After the beef mixture has thickened, add it to the bowl of chopped lettuce and tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle the crushed Doritos over the top of the salad. Drizzle with Catalina salad dressing and toss everything together until well combined. Nacho Cheese Doritos are a popular choice for this dish, but feel free to use your favorite flavor.
  • Extra Tips:
  • To keep your Dorito Taco Salad crispy and fresh, prepare the salad just before serving to avoid soggy Doritos.
  • If you want to save time, you can make the beef mixture in advance and store it in the freezer for quick meals later on.
  • Feel free to customize your salad with various toppings such as sour cream or guacamole for an added flavor boost!
