Tips and Notes
Drain the canned ingredients. Okay, this one might go without saying, but I’m gonna say it anyway. No one likes a soupy taco salad! Serve right away. If it sits too long, the wetter ingredients can make both the lettuce and Doritos soggy. I recommend serving the salad right away for all that delicious texture contrast. To prep slightly ahead of time, combine everything except the dressing and Doritos. Let everyone add those themselves when they’re ready to eat!
Taco Salad Variations
Use other mix-ins. Any of your favorite toppings are fair game! Try olives, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, homemade salsa, guacamole or avocado slices, diced onion, you name it! Try another Dorito. I love the classic Nacho Cheese Doritos, but literally any other flavor of Dorito works great. Try Salsa Verde, Spicy Nacho, Cool Ranch, regular tortilla chips, crunchy tortilla strips, you name it! Swap the meat. Ground beef is the classic taco meat, but feel free to swap it out for shredded chicken, lean ground turkey, or ground pork. Make it vegetarian. Make this into a meatless meal by using a meatless variety of ground beef or just adding more beans!
