Delicious Dorito Taco Salad

Ah, the beauty of this Dorito Taco Salad—crunchy, cheesy, zesty, and delightfully messy! It’s the kind of dish that brings people together, whether for a casual family dinner or a lively potluck. Plus, with its make-ahead components, it’s as easy as it is delicious.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large bag of Doritos Nacho Cheese Chips, broken into bite-sized pieces (not crumbs)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 head lettuce, shredded
  • 6 tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup Italian dressing
  • 2 cups ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbled, about 7–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Season It Up: Stir in the taco seasoning, Italian dressing, and ranch dressing. Mix well and let the beef simmer for 2–3 minutes until the liquid is mostly absorbed. This step ensures the flavors infuse beautifully into the beef.
  3. Prep the Veggies: While the beef is cooking, shred the lettuce, chop the tomatoes, and dice the red onion. Place them in separate serving bowls.
  4. Cheese and Chips: Shred the cheddar cheese if needed and break the Doritos into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.
  5. Assemble and Serve: You can serve this as a mixed salad or a build-your-own taco salad bar! Either:
    • Toss everything together for a deliciously messy, flavor-packed salad.
    • Serve the ingredients separately, letting guests customize their plate with as much crunch, cheese, and toppings as they like.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
