Ingredients:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cup tomatoes, diced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 bunch green onions
- 1 bag Doritos (or similar corn chips)
- 1 bottle of your favorite taco dressing
Instructions:
- Begin by assembling all your ingredients. Arrange them in the order listed above in a large bowl, creating layers of vibrant colors and textures.
- Just before serving, add the chips and dressing. This ensures that the chips stay crisp and the dressing coats every mouthful with flavor.
- Now, here’s a fun step: to crumble the Doritos, enlist the help of your kids! Simply let them have at it, smashing the bag until it’s filled with delightful crumbs. It’s a great way to get them involved in the kitchen and adds a playful touch to the salad.
- A little tip to avoid a chip explosion: make a small air hole in the bag before you start smashing. Unless, of course, you want to discover chips scattered all over your kitchen—it’s your call!
