Doritos Taco Salad Recipe - a classic recipe from our childhood. Taco meat, kidney beans, tomatoes, lettuce, Catalina dressing, cheese, and Doritos. Such a quick & delicious Mexican recipe. Kids and adults gobble this up I mean, who wouldn't want to eat Doritos for dinner?!
In a large skillet cook grond beef until no longer pink. Drain fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, layer lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and kidney beans. Top with taco meat. Toss with dressing. Add crushed Doritos and toss thoroughly. Serve immediately.
Notes:
You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
This is a great base recipe. Add all of your favorite taco toppings to the salad. Olives, onions, bell peppers are all good in this dish.
If you don't like Catalina dressing, you can substitute French dressing.
I used Nacho Cheese Doritos. Feel free to use your favorite flavor. This is really good with Cool Ranch or Taco Doritos.
