Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup water
- 10 shells hard taco shells
- 4 ounces nacho cheese flavored Doritos
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Step 4
While the beef is simmering, place the hard taco shells on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up.
Step 5
In a food processor or using a rolling pin, crush the nacho cheese flavored Doritos into fine crumbs.
Step 6
Carefully remove the taco shells from the oven. Dip each shell into the Doritos crumbs, pressing gently to ensure they stick and coat the shell evenly. Tip: You can lightly spray the shell with cooking spray first to help the crumbs stick better.
Step 7
Once all shells are coated, start filling them. Spoon a portion of the seasoned beef into each taco shell.
Step 8
Top each taco with a generous layer of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Doritos Locos Tacos!
