Ingredients

1 bag of nacho cheese Doritos (about 8 ounces)

1 pound ground beef (or turkey)

1 packet taco seasoning

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream

½ cup salsa

Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions for adding water. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, mixing well. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Prepare Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Toss everything lightly to mix well.

Mix in Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the salad mixture and gently combine.

Layer Ingredients: Once the meat has cooled, add it to the salad mix, followed by the Doritos. Gently fold in the Doritos to avoid breaking them too much.

Dress the Salad: Drizzle the sour cream and salsa over the entire salad. Toss gently until all ingredients are coated.

Serve: Dish out the salad into individual serving bowls or a large platter and garnish with fresh cilantro.
