This taco salad was found on the Life as a Lofthouse blog that I'm a follower of. I made this dish for dinner the other night. It is very similar to a salad my sister-in-law Shannon makes for parties. Her sald is one of my favorites, so when I came across this recipe, I knew we'd like it. It is a little bit different from hers but I was still a fan.
1 lb lean ground beef
1 (1.25 oz.) package of taco seasoning
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8 oz.) can of tomato sauce
1/2 c water
1-2 heads of chopped iceberg lettuce
1 large bag nacho cheese Doritos
Toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, salsa, olives (I didn't use), Catalina dressing
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble. Drain grease.
Add taco seasoning, black beans, tomato sauce, and water to the ground beef. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated and thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
On 4 individual plates, add the chopped lettuce and 1/2-1 cup of the crushed Doritos chips. Divide meat mixture over each bed of lettuce and chips. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
