This Doritos Taco Salad is a fun and flavorful twist on a classic taco salad. It’s packed with crunchy Doritos, seasoned ground beef, fresh veggies, and a creamy dressing, making it a perfect dish for parties, picnics, or a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 bag of Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor)
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat, then add the taco seasoning and follow the instructions on the packet, adding water as needed. Let it simmer for a few minutes until fully mixed and heated.
- Prepare the Salad Base: In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, red onion, and black olives.
- Assemble the Salad: Once the ground beef is ready, allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the salad bowl. Break the Doritos into smaller pieces and add them on top of the salad.
- Add Cheese and Dressing: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, salsa, and ranch dressing. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
- Serve: Serve immediately as the Doritos can get soggy if left too long in the salad.
