Ingredients
- 1 batch [ground beef taco meat]
- 1 head romaine or iceberg lettuce chopped
- 2-3 roma tomatoes diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 15 ounces red kidney beans, drained
- 1 large avocado diced
- 4-6 green onions chopped (I like lots of green onion)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 14.5 ounces Nacho Cheese Doritos partially crushed
- 12 ounces Thousand Island salad dressing* it's about 3/4 of a bottle of dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the taco meat by browning hamburger in a pan and adding taco seasoning to it.
- In a very large bowl, combine all salad ingredients except dressing and Doritos. Toss to combine.
- Add the partially crushed Doritos and Thousand Island dressing to the other salad ingredients and toss to evenly distribute the dressing.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You could add a small can of sliced black olives to this as well. Except I'm not a fan, so I don't.
- I have seen French, Catalina or even Ranch dressing used in place of Thousand Island, but since I grew up with Thousand Island as the only option for this salad, it just doesn't taste the same with a substitution.
