Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 1 bag Doritos any flavor
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn fresh, frozen, or canned
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup salsa

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Can Opener
  • Measuring Cups
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Serving bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until it’s nicely browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Step 2: Once the beef is browned, sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Follow the package instructions, usually requiring a bit of water. Stir until evenly distributed and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and diced red onion.
  4. Step 4: After the beef has cooled slightly, add it to the salad bowl. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Take your bag of Doritos and crush them slightly. Add the crushed Doritos to the salad mixture and toss gently.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the sour cream and salsa over the top of the salad. Gently toss everything together.
  7. Step 7: For the best crunch, serve your Crunchy Dorito Taco Salad immediately.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store the salad without the Doritos to keep them crunchy. Enjoy the salad within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture.
