Dorito Taco Salad

1 minute read

This Dorito Taco Salad is a nostalgic, high-crunch classic that perfectly balances the coolness of iceberg lettuce with the zesty, bold flavors of seasoned beef and nacho cheese chips. The “secret ingredient” here is the Catalina dressing—its sweet and tangy profile ties the spicy taco seasoning and the savory cheese chips together for a flavor combination that is famously addictive.

Dorito Taco Salad

Ingredients:

THE PROTEIN	AMOUNT
Lean ground beef	1 lb
Taco seasoning	2 tablespoons
Olive oil	1 tablespoon

THE CRUNCH & VEGGIES	AMOUNT
Iceberg lettuce, chopped	1 medium head
Nacho Cheese Doritos, crushed	1/2 cups
Tomato, diced	1 large

DRESSING & GARNISH	AMOUNT
Catalina dressing	1 cup
Sour cream	For garnish
Guacamole	For garnish

How To Make Dorito Taco Salad:

Step 1: Brown and Season the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and the 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Cook until the beef is fully browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.

Pro Tip: Let the meat cool to room temperature before adding it to the salad to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Step 2: Prep the Greens: While the meat cools, chop your iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a very large mixing bowl. Add the diced tomatoes.

Step 3: Assemble the Salad: Add the cooled beef and the 1/2 cups of Doritos to the bowl. Pour the 1 cup of Catalina dressing over the top.

Step 4: Toss and Serve: Toss everything together until the lettuce is evenly coated in the dressing and the chips are distributed throughout. Serve immediately, topped with dollops of sour cream and guacamole if desired.
