Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbled (approximately 10 minutes). Drain off any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning mix until well combined. Allow the beef mixture to cool completely.

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture, shredded Cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, Italian dressing, and diced red onion. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

03

Step
30 mins

Just before serving, gently fold in the shredded lettuce and crushed nacho-flavor tortilla chips. Serve immediately to prevent the chips from becoming soggy.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or guacamole just before serving.
Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite taco toppings, such as diced tomatoes, black olives, or jalapenos.
To keep the tortilla chips as crisp as possible, serve the salad immediately after adding them.
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef if you prefer.
For a spicier salad, use a hot taco seasoning mix or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef while cooking.

    Next time I will add the lettuce right before serving. I added it too early and it was soggy the next day for lunch.

  • Kane Cummings

    Delicious and simple. My kids loved helping me crush the Doritos!

  • Stanford Sawayn

    The only thing I changed was using plain tortilla chips instead of Doritos, because that’s what I had on hand. It was still really good!

  • Jazlyn Connelly

    Easy to make, and tastes great. Used slightly less ranch dressing than listed.
