  • 1 bag Doritos
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey You can use lean meat for a healthier option.

  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

Cooking the Meat
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and prepare according to package instructions.
Assembling the Salad

  2. Crush the Doritos and add them to the salad.

Notes

For portion control, divide the salad into bowls to manage servings effectively. Enjoy fresh to maintain the crunch of the Doritos. You can sprinkle fresh cilantro or lime juice for added flavor. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container, keeping Doritos separate to maintain crunch.
