Doritos Taco Salad Recipe

I love this Doritos taco salad recipe!  The Doritos really make the dish.  This dinner salad is easy to make and tastes amazing, it’s a great alternative to tacos or burritos.  In about 30 minutes dinner is ready.  I topped this taco salad with my favorite Mexican restaurant style salsa.

Doritos Taco Salad Taco Meat Seasoning

This is a great taco seasoning recipe it’s really easy and you’ll save a bunch of money when you ditch the taco seasoning packages.

For EACH pound of  browned ground beef add in the following spices (or use your favorite taco seasoning packet):

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • Pinch of cayenne powder (optional)
  • Pinch of chipotle powder (optional)

Ground Beef Taco Meat From Scratch

After the meat is browned I then add in a can of refried beans.  This stretches the meat and tastes delicious.

How to Assemble Doritos Taco Salad

Smear your plate with a little meat/bean mixture, this keeps the taco salad from sliding off your plate if you turn around fast by giving the chips something to hold onto.  I’m sure you can figure out that I learned this the hard way.
