This Taco Salad recipe laced with Doritos will have you losing your mind! It’s a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!!!
Taco Salad | With Doritos
But seriously, Doritos on a Taco Salad? If you haven’t tried it, you must. It’s one of my favorite things to eat ever. See here and here for proof. What can I say? I have a thing for neon orange chips and I don’t care who knows it. So, this weekend if you’re feeling up to the task, throw a couple of Doritos into your taco salad. You will surely thank me.
Wait, Doritos!?
YES DORITOS! This is a heavenly addition to this taco salad. Feel free to replace Doritos with Fritos, corn chips, tortilla chips, or even a different flavor of Doritos!
How to Make Taco Salad
Like any salad recipe, this taco salad is easy to throw together. Just prepare your veggies, your meat, dressing if you want some, and assemble. Then dig in!
- Pile the entire container of lettuce onto a serving platter. Line ingredients for salad overtop lettuce in any order you’d like. According to this picture, I did corn, avocado, meat, tomatoes, cheese, olives, and then topped the whole thing with chopped cilantro.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Tuck Doritos chips around the edges of the platter and serve!
Possible Dressings
Now I don’t provide a dressing for this taco salad because I personally don’t think it needs one. BUT if you would like a dressing of sorts, here are some ideas:
- Try my Basic Salsa Recipe as a dressing!
- Sour Cream is always a great option but consider sprucing it up by making this fish taco sauce (sour cream, lime, seasonings etc.)
- One of my readers suggested a thousand island dressing mixed with a little bit of hot sauce! Spiciness mixed with all that freshness.
- I also have thisCaesar Avocado Dressing that you can try.
Customize this Taco Salad Recipe
The beauty of this recipe is that you can customize it any way you like. If you hate cilantro, leave it out. If you rather go with corn chips than Doritos, go for it. Here are a couple of customizable suggestions:
- Veggies:grill corn, add red onions, use a different type of tomato, or just use what you have at home!
- Cheese:use Monterey Jack, Queso Blanco, or another type of cheese that you love.
- Taco Meat:I have a plethora of homemade taco meat that you can use:Turkey Taco Meat Recipe,Crockpot Chicken Taco Meat Recipe,Slow Cooked Carnitas (Mexican Pork) and Uruguayan Asado.
