Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 packages (1 1/4 ounces each) taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped
  • 4 roma tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 whole avocados, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced black olives
  • 12 cups nacho chips (1 large bag, I use Doritos)
  • 1 bottle (8 ounce) Catalina salad dressing
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a skillet cook the ground beef with the chopped yellow onion (not red) until no longer pink; drain most of the fat then continue cooking until lightly browned,

  • Step 2: Add in only 1 package taco mix (and water according to the package direction) set aside to cool completely.

  • Step 3: In a large bowl mix together chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (can use more than 2 cups if desired and the cheese may be cubed small instead of shredded) avocados, red onion, olives, and the second package of taco seasoning mix.

  • Step 4: Add to cooled beef mixture; toss to combine.

  • Step 5: Just before serving toss with the salad dressing.

  • Step 6: The last step (just before serving) is to mix in about three-quarters of the package of crushed Doritos, leaving the rest on the side for your guests who want extra (they will get soggy if you mix them in too early!).
