Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
- 3 cups Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor)
- 0.75 cup Catalina dressing
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned and crumbly, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked beef. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir well to evenly coat the meat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the beef is cooling, rinse and chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the red onion, and add them to the salad bowl. Then add the shredded cheddar cheese and sliced black olives.
Break the Doritos into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl just before serving, to keep them crunchy.
Add the seasoned ground beef to the salad. Drizzle 3/4 cup of Catalina dressing over the salad ingredients.
Gently toss the salad with large salad tongs to evenly distribute the dressing and all the ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
