Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 small iceberg lettuce washed and chopped
  • 1 bunch Romaine lettuce (Optional washed and chopped)
  • 2 cups Doritos broken up into smaller pieces, not crushed
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes rinsed and halved
  • 1 English cucumber rinsed and sliced into half moons
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • ¼ cup black olive slices
  • 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese
  • Catalina dressing to taste

Instructions

  • Cook ground beef in large skillet on medium heat until no longer pink, breaking up with spatula as it cooks
  • Drain grease, stir in water and taco seasoning, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn heat off and allow to cool slightly while you assemble salad
  • Add half of lettuce and fresh veggies to a large salad bowl. Add half of taco meat and Doritos and cheese. Add remaining lettuce and veggies, mix together
  • Add remaining taco meat, cheese and Doritos. Pour a little Catalina dressing on top. Serve immediately

Notes

Serve with extra taco meat, cheese and dressing on the side, if desired.
If making ahead of time, it's best to store cooked taco meat and dressing separately from fresh ingredients. Reheat meat, and mix salad together before serving.
I love the combo or romaine and iceberg lettuce, but you can use only 1 kind if preferred.
