Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 pack Doritos (any flavor), crushed
  • Water (to mix with taco seasoning)

Instructions:

  1. Brown the Meat and Onion:

    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is tender.
  2. Drain Off Fat:

    • Once the meat is cooked through, carefully drain off any excess fat from the skillet.
  3. Add Taco Seasoning:

    • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat and onion mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  4. Mix in Water:

    • To ensure the meat is flavorful and moist, fill the empty taco seasoning packet with water. Pour the water into the skillet with the meat and seasoning mixture. Stir until well combined, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Let Meat Mixture Cool:

    • Once the meat mixture is cooked and seasoned, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. This step prevents the heat from wilting the salad ingredients.
  6. Assemble the Salad:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled meat mixture with the chopped tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese. Gently toss the ingredients together until evenly distributed.
  7. Add Doritos:

    • Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos to the salad mixture. The Doritos will add a satisfying crunch and extra flavor to the salad.
  8. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Transfer the Delicious Dorito Taco Salad to a serving dish and garnish with extra shredded cheese or chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful, crowd-pleasing salad!
