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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
While the beef is cooling, rinse and chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place it in a large salad bowl.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Break the Doritos into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad bowl just before serving, to keep them crunchy.
Step 6
Add the seasoned ground beef to the salad. Drizzle 3/4 cup of Catalina dressing over the salad ingredients.
Step 7
Gently toss the salad with large salad tongs to evenly distribute the dressing and all the ingredients.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
