For the Dressing:

Ingredients: Quantity

  3. Add Beef & Doritos: Add the seasoned ground beef to the salad mixture and toss to combine. Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos to maintain their crunch.
  4. Dress the Salad: Pour the Catalina dressing over the salad and gently toss until all ingredients are well coated. If desired, add a squeeze of lime juice for extra tang.
  5. Serve: Serve the Dorito Taco Salad immediately, while the Doritos are still crispy. Enjoy!
