Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet 1 oz taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 large head iceberg lettuce chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 oz whole kernel corn, drained or 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 large tomato diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion optional
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 bag 9.75 oz Doritos Nacho Cheese chips, lightly crushed
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish optional

Instructions

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer, and cook until the water has evaporated and the beef is well-coated with seasoning. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Salad Base:

  • In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, black beans, corn, diced tomato, and red onion (if using).

Add the Beef:

  • Once the seasoned beef has cooled to at least room temperature, add it to the salad bowl.

Dressing the Salad:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the salsa and sour cream. This will be your salad dressing. You can adjust the proportions based on your preference for creaminess and spiciness.

Assemble the Salad:

  • Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos to the salad bowl. Pour the salsa-sour cream dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well mixed.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions, if desired. Serve immediately.
