Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 medium head of lettuce (shredded)
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cup canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 3 cups nacho cheese Doritos (crushed lightly)
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for topping)
- 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water into the cooked beef. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is well blended. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, diced Roma tomatoes, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions.
Once the meat has cooled slightly, add it to the salad mixture in the large bowl.
Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos to the salad and toss to combine.
Drizzle the ranch dressing over the salad and toss again until everything is evenly coated. Adjust the amount of dressing based on your preference.
Optionally, garnish with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Doritos Taco Salad!
