We're having a Taco Salad for lunch (MIL's favorite). It's a little different and had never had it before I met the Mrs...and have never had it quite like this anywhere else.
So here goes...from memory.
Brown ground beef. When brown put in taco seasoning (follow instructions on package as to amount of water, etc).
Dice onions, Shred lettuce.
When hamburger/taco mix is cooking put in can of red kidney beans (or how much you want) just so they can warm up. Don't put in when mix is boiling per instructions on package...don't want them mushy, just warmed up.
Pour hamburger/taco/bean mix in large bowl.
Mix in cheese (we use cheddar...guess you could use others like Mexican, 3 cheese, etc) One 8 oz package I believe.
Mix in salsa (amount to taste...she normally does small jar)
Mix in Western dressing...again to taste....maybe small jar, or bit less (Western is hard to find in some areas of the country)
Mix in onions and lettuce
Add crushed Doritos....again to taste. Sometimes I like mine plain and will add chips myself so they won't get a bit mushy sitting in the large bowl. And sometimes we'll put crushed tortilla chips instead of Doritos, but prefer Doritos.
The Doritos and Western dressing makes it different....and good.
