Doritos Taco Salad

My DB and his friend AJ loved this dish growing up. When we recently went to AJ & Rachel's Going Away party, this salad was there and my DB begged me to make it. Thanks to AJ & Rachel for sharing this recipe with us- very easy and light, and it makes A LOT (it almost filled my 4-qt bowl entirely). The french dressing is a major flavor component of this recipe- make sure to choose a brand that you will enjoy.




Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 head lettuce, shredded
1 basket cherry tomatoes, diced
1 red onion, diced fine
1 pkg Doritos
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 bottle French dressing (Don't use light or reduced-fat, it doesn't taste right)

Directions
1. Brown the beef. Follow instructions for the taco seasoning mix.


2. Crunch up Doritos until they're bite-sized pieces.


3. Right before serving, mix all ingredients together.


4. Top with additional Doritos.



Note: Do not mix all the ingredients together (step #4) until you’re ready to serve, or the lettuce and Doritos will get soggy and soft.
