How to Make Dorito Taco Salad
Cook the Beef

Prep the Salad
In a large bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, beans, corn, and onion.
Add the Meat
Add the slightly cooled taco meat to the salad.

Just before serving, toss in the crushed Doritos and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss until everything is coated and combined.
Serve Immediately
Garnish with extra cheese, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Tips for the Best Taco Salad
Don’t add Doritos too early – they’ll get soggy. Toss them in right before serving!
