Doritos Taco Salad

Doritos Taco Salad layers seasoned ground beef with crisp romaine lettuce, black beans, tomato, shredded cheddar, and crunchy Doritos chips. The salad is finished with a choice of dressings like ranch or Catalina, providing a creamy or tangy element. The result is a combination of cooked savory meat, fresh vegetables, melted cheese, and crispy chips for varied textures and flavors.
