Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are translucent. Drain the excess fat and set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a clean garbage bag.
Add the chopped tomatoes, drained kidney beans, shredded cheddar cheese, the browned ground beef mixture, and the crushed Doritos into the bag.
Pour the Catalina salad dressing over the ingredients in the bag.
Close the bag securely and shake vigorously to ensure all components are well mixed and coated with the dressing.
Once everything is combined, carefully pour the salad into a large serving bowl and enjoy!
