Description

If you love a plate of nachos piled high with all the toppings, but you still are looking to get your daily dose of veggies, try turning loaded nachos on its head and make a taco salad! The ingredients are much the same but in different proportions.

Directions

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning packet and the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let meat cool slightly before assembling the salad.
4. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, pinto beans, and shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Top with the ground beef mixture and toss to combine.
6. Drizzle with the salad dressing and toss to coat evenly.
7. Sprinkle the broken Doritos chips on top and gently toss. Enjoy immediately. (If you plan to refrigerate and enjoy later, wait to top with the Doritos chips until just before serving so they don't become soggy.)
