I was about 12 years old when they first came out with the Nacho Cheese Doritos. They were an instant hit in our family.  My mom started making a Taco Salad using Doritos shortly thereafter.  It has been the way I make a taco salad ever since.  I remember years ago serving this to a friend of mine and how she couldn’t stop raving how great this salad was.  I kinda laughed because it is like one of the easiest recipes ever!  The secret truly is using Nacho Cheese Doritos I believe.  This is always one of my summer go to meals since it is quick and delicious!  Thank heavens for DORITOS!!

Recipe type: salad
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 pkg. Taco Seasoning (I like the Taco Bell brand)
  • 1 head of lettuce, chopped
  • 1 can dark red beans, drained
  • 1 can black olives
  • ½ cup chopped green onions
  • 3 tomatoes diced
  • 2 cups grated cheese
  • 1 bottle Creamy French Dressing or Ranch dressing (I mix both on mine)
  • 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • Sour cream
  • Sliced avacado
Instructions
  1. Brown the ground beef in a pan. Drain the grease.
  2. Add the taco flavoring packet and water according to the packet directions. Keep warm till ready to serve.
  3. Place out on the table in seperate bowls the following: Chopped lettuce, chopped tomatoes, olives (chopped optional), green onions, grated cheese, dark red beans, sour cream and avacado.
  4. This is how we assemble our salad:
  5. Crush some Doritos on to your plate, we usually crush a couple of big handfuls.
  6. Layer the lettuce on top, then taco meat, red beans, onions, tomatoes, salad dressing, cheese, sour cream, olives and avacados. You of course can layer it how you like, but this seems to work the best.
Notes
We make our own individual salads, and I like to crush a little more Doritos on top!
