Dorito Taco Salad
Dorito Taco salad is loaded with taco flavored ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crushed Dorito chips. Catalina dressing is what my aunt always used and I think it works best with this.
Dorito Taco Salad is probably one of my most favorite salads ever! I remember when I was little, this is what my Aunt Carol would always bring to our family potlucks and dinners. I would ask if she was bringing it all the time and my family knew that I really loved Doritos growing up as a kid. That is why I was nicknamed Dorito girl. Ha! I’m 38 now and no one ever calls me that anymore thank God! 🙂
Dorito Taco salad is loaded with taco flavored ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and crushed Dorito chips. Catalina dressing is what my aunt always used and I think it works best with this. I’ve tried it with Ranch before but it simply didn’t do the justice that Catalina does.
This salad is best served cold. If you want to pack this Dorito taco salad for lunch or meal prep this, I would suggest leaving the Doritos off the salad or else they will get soggy. When you are ready to eat this salad, just crush the Doritos chips on top and eat!
How to make Dorito Taco Salad
- Brown the ground beef in a nonstick skillet; drain fat. Toss with dry taco seasoning, and set aside until cool. You can also use a homemade taco seasoning for this.
- In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. Right before serving, add the beef, Doritos, and dressing. Mix well.

Make this all the time without the Doritos and Catalina dressing. Was sooo good! I don’t care if it’s 5 points or 10, it’s worth it! Friday night and I’m tired of chicken and broccoli! Thanks for this! Hubby even liked the dressing!

Shame Van Vogt never made it to the internet where fans could have left him notes of appreciation on his LJ or facebook wall or blog or something, isn’t it.

Ei oikein löydy sanoja. Mutta kyllä kirjoituksistasi/kuvistasi välittyy kuva lapsilleen omistautuneesta äidistä ja siitä rakkaudesta jota tunnet lapsiasi kohtaan. Niin ja myös sen asian tiedostamisesta, että he eivät ole itsestään selvyyksiä.Lähipiirissäni sattui tapaus, jossa maanantaina juhlimme Baby Showereita ja keskiviikkona ei pikkuisen sydän enää lyönyt. Eikä sitä voi ymmärtää, kun vielä mitään syytä ei löytynyt.Halauksia sinulle ja perheellesi, sekä aurinkoa kesäänne!
