  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 1 oz packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water

Salad Base and Toppings

  • 1 9.5 oz bag Nacho Cheese Doritos
  • 1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Warm a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for about 7 to 10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease to keep the mixture from being too oily.
  2. Season the Beef: Stir in the taco seasoning packet and ¼ cup water, mixing until the beef is fully coated. Let it simmer gently for 1 to 2 minutes to develop flavor, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Layer the Salad Bowls: Start by placing a generous layer of Nacho Cheese Doritos on the bottom of each bowl to create a crunchy base.
  4. Add the Beef & Cheese: Spoon one-third of the seasoned beef evenly over the Doritos, then sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  5. Top with Beans, Corn, and Veggies: Layer one-third each of the rinsed black beans, corn, chopped romaine lettuce, and halved cherry tomatoes over the cheese.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: Customize your bowls with favorite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or any preferred condiments for added flavor and creaminess.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish off by sprinkling fresh cilantro on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the salad with the Doritos still crunchy and fresh.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add jalapeño slices or hot sauce as a topping.
  • You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian version.
  • To keep the chips crunchier longer, assemble just before serving rather than in advance.
  • Rinsing canned beans and corn helps reduce sodium and improve texture.
  • This recipe is versatile—feel free to add avocado slices, olives, or shredded lettuce varieties.
