Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 Pound Ground Beef
- 1 Bottle Catalina Dressing
- 14 Oz Bag Doritos Nacho Cheese
- 1 Head Iceberg Lettuce
- 3 Roma Tomatoes
- 2 Cups Shredded Taco Blend Cheese
- 2 Tbsp Taco Seasoning
Instructions
- Dice the roma tomatoes.
- In a non- stick pan, heated over medium-high add the ground beef and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Cook the beef using a spoon to break it up as it cooks aprx. 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, strain the liquid and put the beef in a bowl to rest and cool
- Once the beef is at room temperature (10 minutes), in a large bowl add the beef, Catalina dressing, and Roma tomatoes together mixing with a spoon to fully combine. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow mixture to come together.
- Refigerate the mixture covered for 1-2 hours and upto 1 day.
- Before you are ready to serve, remove the beef mixture from the refrigerator, let it sit out for 15-20 minutes.
- While beef the mixture is coming to room temp prep the lettuce.
- Remove outer leaves from the Iceberg Lettuce and slice the head in half and then into quarters. Cut the lettuce into thin shreds. Wash and dry the shredded lettuce. A salad spinner makes this easy, but a strainer works nice as well
- Leaving the Doritos in the bag, poke a hole in it with a knife to allow air to get out. Using your hands or a rolling pin gently crush the entire bag until they are small bits.
- Add the crushed Doritos to the lettuce, cheese and beef mixture.
- Add the Taco Cheese and remaining Catalina dressing.
- Using a wooden spoon mix all ingredients togethr until fully incorporated.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For maximum freshness serve this immediately after mixing all ingredients. The Doritos and lettuce are best when there is a crunch so they should be added last.
- When making a batch for a small group (we make it for 2 all the time). Mix it ready to eat as needed. We keep the fresh lettuce shredded in the refrigerator and add Doritos as we make it.
- Crushing the Doritos in the bag will save your hands from turning orange!
