Talk about the best of both worlds! This has to be one of the best salads ever.  With all the same flavors as tacos, this is more than a boring salad.

How to Make Dorito Taco Salad

• Brown the ground beef in a nonstick skillet. Drain the fat and place the meat on a paper towel lined plate.

• Return the meat to the pan and sprinkle it with the seasoning.  Stir it together well.
• Wash and chop the lettuce and spin the water off using a salad spinner and place it in the refrigerator.
• Cook the bacon, drain the fat and set it aside.
• Wash the tomatoes and then cut them in half.
• Open the can of beans, drain them and rinse with cold water.
• Clean and chop the green onions into small pieces.
• Clean and chop the red bell pepper.

• Using a squeeze bottle, add the taco sauce to half way and then fill the rest with french dressing and shake to combine it well.
• Begin to assemble the salad by placing the lettuce on the plate and top it with the ground sirloin, bacon, beans, cherry tomatoes, pepper, cheese, and green onions. Add the dressing on top and serve with tortilla chips.

Should Taco Salad be Cold or Warm?

While the salad is served cold, the taco meat is served warm. however, if you prefer to eat it cold, you can store the meat in the refrigerator and serve it on top of the salad after it is cold.

What Goes With Taco Salad?

This easy Taco Salad is a complete meal all on its own. However, I like to serve this salad with a side of tortilla chips. Bread is also a great addition to this salad.
