Doritos® Taco Salad

I love this dish! It reminds me of potlucks and summertime. It's full of every texture--warm, cool, crisp, soft, crunchy. It has a touch of sweetness and tanginess from the dressing, and the lovely nacho cheese flavor from the chips, with the taco-seasoned meat. It all works together deliciously and is a quick and easy meal that's ready to go anytime.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ¼ cup water

  • 1 ½ tablespoons taco seasoning mix

  • 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained

  • ½ (12 ounce) bag nacho cheese-flavored corn chips (such as Doritos®), crushed

  • 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped

  • 1 ½ medium tomatoes, diced

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, or more to taste

  • ½ cup Catalina salad dressing, or to taste

Directions

  1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat and saute ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper together until ground beef is browned and no longer pink and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and taco seasoning to the meat. Stir to coat and allow to simmer for 1 minute to thicken. Set aside to cool while you prep the salad.

  2. Add kidney beans, crushed chips, lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, and dressing to a large bowl. Top with meat mixture and toss gently to evenly combine. Serve immediately.
