Taco Tuesday just got a little more delicious with this kid approved Dorito Taco Salad recipe. Perfect for potlucks too!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 1 head of iceburg lettuce, chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- ¼ cup sliced black olives
- ¼ cup green onions, chopped
- 1 can (15 ounce) pinto beans (or black beans), drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Catalina or French Dressing
- 2 cups Doritos (we like taco flavored, but nacho works too)
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Once no pink remains, drain off excess fat.
- Add the packet of taco seasoning to the beef and stir until fully coated. Set aside.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, tomatoes, olives, green onions, beans, cheese, and ground beef.
- When ready to serve, toss salad with dressing (just enough to coat), and add the Doritos. ENJOY.
Notes
- Wait to add the dressing and doritos until you're about to serve the salad. That way the chips stay crunchy and the veggies don't get soggy.
- If you're packing this taco salad for a portable lunch, keep the dressing in a separate container or zip log bag. Then add it to the tupperware container of salad ingredients and shake to combine when you're re ready to eat.
- Does everyone in your family have different tastes? Put all the ingredients out on the counter for a "Taco Salad Bar" and let everyone assemble their own bowl!
- Need a little more heat? Serve this salad with a side of salsa or hot sauce for sprinkling on top, or sliced jalapenos! You can also add a little extra chili powder or cayenne pepper to the beef along with the taco seasoning if you like.
- GARNISH. Feel free to top with sour cream, guacamole, and sliced black olives if desired!
