Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning (or use homemade taco seasoning)
- ¾ cup water (or the proper amount of water called for on the taco seasoning packet)
- 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (15.25 ounce) can corn, drained
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups Doritos Nacho Cheese tortilla chips, coarsely crushed
- 8 ounces creamy French salad dressing (or Catalina dressing)
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in taco seasoning mix and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 3-4 minutes (stirring often), until thickened. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Place lettuce in a large bowl. Add onion, beans, corn, tomatoes, and cheese. Toss. Add ground beef, Doritos, and dressing. Toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- Add any of your other favorite taco toppings, such as diced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream, or sliced black olives.
- Use your favorite taco salad dressing. If you don't want creamy French or Catalina, other good options include Italian dressing, Ranch dressing, Salsa Ranch, and Thousand Island.
- The chips and lettuce will get soggy as the salad sits in the dressing, so wait to stir everything together until right before serving.
- Cooking for a smaller family? Cut all of the ingredients in half. The rest of the cooking instructions remain the same. If you prefer to cook a full 1-lb. of taco meat, you can save half of the cooked taco meat in the freezer for another meal.
