Doritos Taco Salad (Printer-Friendly)

Taco-spiced beef, crisp lettuce, nacho cheese Doritos, and tangy Catalina dressing come together delightfully.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1 lb 95% lean ground beef
02 - 1 (1.25 oz) packet reduced sodium taco seasoning

→ Produce

03 - 1 medium-large head iceberg lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces
04 - 1 medium-large tomato, diced

→ Dairy

05 - 4 oz 50% reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

→ Snacks

06 - 4 oz nacho cheese Doritos, broken into bite-sized pieces

→ Condiments

07 - 1 cup light Catalina or French dressing

# Steps to Make This:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Stir in the taco seasoning packet until the meat is evenly coated, then set aside.
02 - Combine chopped iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and seasoned ground beef in a large serving bowl.
03 - Just before serving, toss the salad with broken Doritos and light Catalina or French dressing to maintain the crisp texture.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Add Doritos and dressing only when ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
02 - Use pre-portioned 1 oz bags of Doritos to control snack intake.
