Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 16 ounces salsa, medium heat (1 jar)
- 9.75 ounces cool ranch Doritos (1 bag)
- 3 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spoon a couple tablespoons of salsa in the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish and spread over the bottom. Cut the block of cream cheese into thirds, then cut each third into small cubes.
- Place the ground beef in a large skillet and set over medium heat. Break the ground beef into small pieces with a wooden spoon. Brown the beef for 5 minutes, then add in the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup water. Stir well, and simmer for another 2 minutes to thicken the sauce. Turn off the heat.
- Spread several handfuls of Doritos over the bottom of the baking dish. Press them down, breaking the chips, to create an even layer. Spread one-third of the taco meat over the broken chips. Then top with one-third of the cream cheese cubes, 1 cup shredded cheese, and one-third of the remaining salsa.
- Repeat with a second and third layer of pressed Doritos, taco meat, cream cheese cubes, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and salsa. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top to cover the other ingredients.
- Bake for 25+ minutes, until the cheese is melted and the chips around the edges are very crisp. Sprinkle the top with chopped scallions. Cut the taco lasagna into 9 squares and serve warm!
