Ingredients
• 1 large bag Dorito Nacho Cheese Chips, broken into smaller pieces, but not crumbs
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 red onion, diced
• 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 head lettuce, shredded
• 6 tomatoes, chopped
• ½ cup Italian dressing
• 2 cups ranch dressing
Preparation
In a skillet crumble and brown the lean ground beef. Drain the excess fat from the pan when done cooking
Add in the packet of taco seasoning mix. Add the two dressings, the Italian and the Ranch, stir to combine and simmer until the liquid is soaked up
Shred the lettuce and place in a bowl. Chop the tomatoes and place in another bowl
Dice the onion and place into a third bowl. Place the cheese into a large bowl
Instead of putting the last few ingredients into bowls, you can mix it all together with the meat.
Placing the ingredients in separate bowls allows each person to add what they would like on the salad. Plus, if there are any of the ingredients left over, they can be packaged separately in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
