“My mom orders this literally every time we go out to lunch so when she came over last weekend I surprised her and made it at home.” (Page 2 ) | June 20, 2025

Instructions:

1. Cook the meat: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then let cool slightly.

2. Prep the veggies: In a large bowl, combine chopped lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, black beans, and corn.

3. Assemble the salad: Add the seasoned ground beef to the veggie mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheese and crushed Doritos on top.

4. Add dressing & serve: Drizzle with Catalina dressing (or your favorite dressing) and toss gently just before serving to keep the chips crunchy.

5. Optional: Garnish with extra toppings like sour cream, jalapeños, or avocado.

Tips:

• For maximum crunch, add Doritos right before serving.

• Swap proteins with shredded chicken or seasoned tofu for variation.

• Adjust spice level with hot sauce or extra jalapeños.

Enjoy this fun, bold, and satisfying salad—it’s always a hit! 🌮🥗😋
