Ingredients
- 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
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!).
