Description

Doritos Taco Salad is a fun and crunchy twist on a traditional salad, featuring seasoned ground beef, fresh vegetables, and crispy Doritos.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 whole avocado, diced
  • 1 cup Doritos (taco flavor works best)
  • ½ cup ranch dressing (or your favorite dressing)

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, typically taking about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Once the beef is browned, add the taco seasoning and follow the instructions on the package, usually adding a bit of water and letting it simmer for a few minutes.
  3. While the meat is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large salad bowl.
  4. To the lettuce, add the cherry tomatoes, corn, diced avocado, and shredded cheese.
  5. Once the ground beef is seasoned and ready, add it into the salad bowl and gently mix everything together.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle the Doritos over the salad to maintain their crunch.
  7. Drizzle ranch dressing over the top, toss if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to swap ground beef for ground chicken or black beans for a vegetarian option.
  • Use fresh and crisp romaine lettuce for the best texture.
  • Choose your favorite cheese for added flavor.
  • For a healthier option, consider using a lighter dressing.
