How To Make Cool Ranch Doritos Taco Salad

For this tasty taco salad recipe, you need the following ingredients:

• ground beef
• taco seasoning
• Cool Ranch Doritos
• shredded lettuce
• tomatoes diced (or 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half)
• shredded cheese
• cucumber
• black olives
• Ranch Dressing

It’s a really easy salad to make.  Really.

You start by placing browning (cooking) ground beef in a skillet until it is no longer pink.  Add the taco seasoning and follow the directions on the packet.  One it has cooked, set it aside.

Place a layer of crushed Cool Ranch Doritos on a plate.  (I use some really nifty bowls that are perfect for salads.)

You can either crush the chips directly on the plate or you can crush them in the bag.

Next, the following ingredients top the chips:

• chopped or shredded lettuce
• chopped cucumbers
• shredded cheese
• ground beef that has been seasoned with taco seasoning
• chopped tomatoes
• olives
• Ranch dressing

I like to add one more layer of crunch by adding a few more crushed Doritos to the top after I have drizzled Ranch dressing on top.
