Ingredients:
- Packet of taco seasoning (1)
- Water (2/3 cup)
- Iceberg lettuce (1)
- Onion (1)
- Ground beef (1lb)
- Kidney beans (1 can) (drained)
- Cheddar cheese (½ cup)
- Tomatoes (2)
- Dorito’s nacho cheese tortillas chips (crushed)
- French salad dressing (8 ounces)
Instructions:
- Let’s start with cooking our ground beef in a large pan or pot over some medium heat. Make sure to cook the meat up until it changes colours from pink to brown.
- Now drain it and add in your taco seasoning mix with some water. Make sure to stir it properly so that no lumps are formed.
- Once the water has started boiling, reduce the heat from medium to low and let it be on a low heat for a while.
- Keep on stirring for in between until you see that the mixture has started to get thick. Once this starts happening, take off from the heat.
- While the water is cooling on one side, let’s get started with our salad. Take the lettuce first and place it in a bowl. Make sure that the bowl has some depth.
- Once it is placed, get on to your other vegetables which should be chopped and kept by now.
- Onion, beans, corn, tomatoes, and any other vegetables of your choice can be added to the bowl.
- Proceed to add your cheese and toss the salad around so that everything gets mixed properly.
- Now is the time to add our ground beef which we kept aside for cooling.
- Add that and our crushed Dorito nachos which have been already crushed. Again, toss the entire salad a few times more to get that full flavor of everything that is there in the bowl.
- Garnish with some fresh thyme or parsley and you can also add a few nachos on the top for the look and that extra cheese flavour.
