Delicious Taco Salad

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Taco Salad.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Step 2

   Once it's hot, add the ground beef and cook it, stirring often, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Don’t forget to drain any excess grease to keep your dish from being too oily.

4. Step 4

   Next, stir in the chili beans, French dressing, and taco seasoning mix.

5. Step 5

   To add a little extra flavor and moisture, fill the empty dressing bottle about two-thirds full with water and pour that into the skillet as well.

6. Step 6

   Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing those delicious flavors to meld together.

7. Step 7

   While the meat mixture is simmering, grab a bag of tortilla chips and give them a good crush right in the bag—this is a fun step! Once they’re nicely crushed, pour the chips into a large serving bowl.

8. Step 8

   Now, sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese and chopped tomatoes over the chips, creating a colorful base.

9. Step 9

   When the meat mixture is ready, pour it over the top and gently mix everything together until it’s well combined.

10. Step 10

    In a separate bowl, place the shredded lettuce, and then layer on the meat mixture, a generous scoop of salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
