Fiesta Taco Salad

• 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• Water (whatever the back of your packet of taco seasoning requires)
• 1 bag of Dorito's
• 1 can dark red kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
• ½ head lettuce, shredded
• 1 block of medium Cheddar Cheese, shredded
• 3 tomatoes, diced
• 1 container of Sour cream
• 1 bottle of Catalina dressing

 

Brown and drain beef of excess fat. Add packet of taco seasoning (whichever one is your favorite or if you make your own). Add necessary water (following directions on back of package). Let water reduce until the beef mixture is thick and the flavors melded. Turn off heat. Crush a handful (or more) of Doritos and place on plate. Next layer with a little taco beef mixture.

 

Then add whatever toppings you prefer; kidney beans, shredded lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and then lightly drizzle with Catalina dressing.

 

This is great to double to feed a larger crowd. Have a taco salad bar!

 

 other toppings include... salsa, pinto beans, black olives or jalapeno's.
