Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce chopped
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 oz corn, drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives optional
  • 1 avocado diced (optional)
  • 2 cups Doritos crushed (any flavor you prefer)
  • 1 cup Catalina dressing or ranch, if preferred
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro optional, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the taco seasoning mix and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Prepare the Salad:

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, red onion, and black olives (if using).

Assemble the Salad:

  • Add the slightly cooled ground beef to the salad bowl.
  • Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos and diced avocado (if using).

Dress the Salad:

  • Pour the Catalina dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.

Serve:

  • Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
  • Serve immediately to maintain the crunchiness of the Doritos.
