Doritos Taco Salad
Description
This taco salad begins by browning lean ground beef and seasoning it with a packet of taco seasoning. After simmering, the beef is cooled slightly and combined with chopped romaine lettuce, black beans, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese in a large bowl. Wonton strips or similar crunchy elements like Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor) are added only just before serving to maintain crunch.
The combination of warm seasoned beef with fresh vegetables and cheese creates a hearty salad. Adding Doritos chips imparts a crunchy, flavorful contrast that complements the other components. The salad dressing, such as ranch or Catalina, adds creaminess or tanginess according to preference.
Prepare the salad by tossing ingredients gently to distribute flavors evenly, and add chips and dressing immediately before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
- 3 to 4 romaine lettuce rinsed then chopped, hearts
- 1 cup black beans rinsed
- 1 tomato large, chopped or cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 ½ cups Nacho Cheese Doritos broke into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup salad dressing we like to eat ours with ranch dressing too, Catalina or favorite
- cilantro optional, fresh
Instructions
- Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain grease. Add taco seasoning and water called for on packet. Stir until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let meat cool slightly.
- In a large salad bowl add chopped lettuce, black beans, tomato and cheese. Add slightly cooled ground beef and gently toss to combine everything. Serve now, or chill in refrigerator until ready to eat. (Don't add chips until ready to serve.)
