Easy Doritos Taco Salad
Advertisement
Instructions
- In a mason jar, combine red wine vinegar, olive oil, ketchup, honey, Worcestershire Sauce, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Shake well to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes. Let the meat mixture cool for 10-15 minutes before adding it to the salad.
- In a large bowl, add iceberg lettuce. Top with green pepper, black olives, tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar jack cheese, and seasoned cooked beef.
- Right before serving, add crushed Doritos and desired amount of dressing. Toss to coat.
Notes
- Let the taco-seasoned beef cool a bit before adding it. You don’t want it to wilt your lettuce!
- You can prepare the taco salad ahead of time but don’t add the dressing or the chips until you are ready to toss and serve!
- For an added twist, blacken your corn!
- If you don’t like a particular ingredient, swap it out for another. As I always say, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
- The salad dressing can be mixed up to 2 days in advance. This salad is equally delicious with ranch dressing.
- You can substitute cool ranch Doritos for the nacho cheese Doritos.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, the chips and lettuce will begin to break down fairly quickly. For best results, serve the salad promptly.
