Instructions

  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the beef (1 pound) and onion (1 cup) until it's cooked through and no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat. 
  • Stir in taco seasoning (1 package), chili beans (1 can) with their liquid, and the Catalina Dressing (1 cup). Simmer on low for 10 minutes. I cool mine to room temperature before adding it to the salad.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cooled meat and bean mixture and all the salad ingredients. Toss well.
  • Pour salad out onto a serving platter and lightly drizzle with Ranch Dressing and top generously with lightly crushed Doritos (2 bags).
