Doritos Taco Salad

Tangy salad with a bit of crunch to me is the prefect salad! This is easy with some southwest twang to it! Ingredients are optional, have fun with it and make it your own!

What you need:

• 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey

• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning

• 3/4 cup water

• Shredded Lettuce

• 1/2 green pepper chopped

• 1/2 cup chopped black olives

• 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes

• 1 can corn drained

• 1 can black beans drained and rinsed

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 cups crushed nacho cheese Doritos

Creamy Southwest Salad Dressing

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup sour cream

• 2 T honey

• juice of 1 lime

• 1 T Apple Cider Vinegar

• 1/2 t salt

• 1/2 t black pepper

• 2 t cumin

• 1 t paprika

• 1 t Chipotle Chili Powder

Lets get started:

1. In large skillet over medium-high heat brown the ground beef. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes. Let beef cool 10-15 minutes before adding it to the salad.

2. In a large bowl add lettuce. Top with green pepper, black olives, tomatoes, corn, black beans, cheddar jack cheese and seasoned cooked beef.

3. Mix Dressing ingredients together.

4. Right before serving add crushed Doritos and desired amount of dressing. Toss to coat.
