Doritos Taco Salad

*Pictured is salad with Catalina but we enjoy ranch better

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 packet (1.25 oz) taco seasoning
• 2 Romaine lettuce hearts, rinsed then chopped
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed
• 1 large tomato, seeded then chopped
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1½ cups nacho cheese Doritos, broken into bite size pieces
• 1 cup of Ranch

Brown ground beef in a skillet.  Drain the grease (this is important as the salad can be greasy).  Add taco seasoning with water, boil it and then let it simmer.   Set aside to cool.

 

Combine the salad ingredients(leave Doritos til serving time).  Add the room temperature meat.  You can eat it now, or chill. 

When ready to serve, mix in ranch.  Top with crumbled Doritos.
