Notes

If you’d like to make this ahead of time, simply layer the salad. First layer is the ground beef, then the tomatoes and onions form layer two. Sprinkle the lettuce on top of that and then the cheese. Leave off the Doritos and dressing until serving time. Toss to combine when ready to serve.

OPTIONAL ADD-INS

You can really make this however you’d like with the ingredients in your pantry. If you’d rather use chicken or turkey instead of beef it’s a great substitution.

Other great additions are beans, corn, pico de gallo, guacamole, green onions, black olives, peppers, fresh cilantro and more!

They are always coming out with new Dorito flavors so switch out Nacho Cheese for Taco or Spicy Doritos or whatever you’d like.
