Recipe for Doritos Taco Salad
Components:
Regarding the salad:
- One pound of ground turkey or beef
- One packet of taco seasoning
- One cup of water
- One cut head of iceberg lettuce
- Half a cup of cherry tomatoes
- One can (15 oz) of rinsed and drained black beans
- One cup of canned or frozen corn
- One cup of cheddar cheese, shredded
- One cup of chopped bell pepper, of any hue
- One cup of optionally sliced black olives
- One bag of Doritos (10–12 oz; any flavor)
Regarding the Dressing:
- One cup of sour cream
- Half a cup of salsa
- One tablespoon of optional lime juice
Directions:
Prepare the beef:
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through. Remove extra fat. Add water and taco seasoning. After mixing everything together, simmer for around five minutes.
Get the salad ready:
- Add the bell pepper, corn, black beans, chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and black olives (if using) to a large bowl. Gently toss to combine.
Put the Beef in:
- Before adding the cooked and seasoned beef to the salad mixture, allow it to cool somewhat.
Prepare the dressing:
- Put the lime juice, salsa, and sour cream in a small bowl. Stir thoroughly.
Put the salad together:
- Toss the Doritos into the salad and pour over the dressing right before serving. Make sure the Doritos remain crispy by gently tossing to blend.
Serve:
- For the ideal texture, serve right away. Have fun!
Advice:
- You can add other toppings like avocado, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro to make it your own.
- Although this salad is best eaten fresh, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to a day without the Doritos. To keep the chips crunchy, add them just before serving!
