Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb 95% lean ground beef 95% lean 'cause you gotta keep it healthy but still flavorful
- 1 (1.25 oz) packet reduced sodium taco seasoning 30 flavors in one handy packet that makes seasoning easy
- 1 head iceberg lettuce fresh and crisp, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 medium-large tomato adds juicy bursts of freshness when diced
- 4 oz 50% less fat sharp cheddar cheese sharp and melty, shredded for perfect sprinkling
- 4 oz nacho cheese Doritos break them into bite sized pieces but keep those crunchy bits alive
- 1 cup light Catalina or French dressing I like Kraft Lite Catalina for that sweet tang that keeps everything vibing
Instructions
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat to cook out raw flavor.
- Drain excess fat once the beef is no longer pink and releasing juices.
- Add taco seasoning and a little water to the skillet; stir and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces, dice the tomato, shred the cheese, and break the Doritos into pieces.
- Layer the salad bowl with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and Doritos.
- Pour the seasoned taco meat over the salad bowl.
- Add the cup of light Catalina dressing and toss gently to coat everything without breaking the Dorito crunch.
Notes
For the best crunch, add Doritos just before serving. Store leftovers separately to keep textures fresh, and reheat beef with a splash of broth to maintain juiciness.
