Ingredients
1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning mix
6 cups chopped lettuce
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
1 cup Doritos, lightly crushed (any flavor like Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch)
1/2 cup Catalina or ranch dressing
Optional toppings: sliced black olives, jalapeños, or green onions
Instructions
Prepare the Meat
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and cook according to package instructions. Set aside to cool slightly.
Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and shredded cheese. Add the seasoned meat and toss gently.
Add the Crunch
Just before serving, sprinkle the crushed Doritos over the salad.
Dress It Up
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve
Serve immediately to keep the Doritos crunchy, or keep the chips and dressing on the side for guests to add themselves.
