Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Dorito Taco Salad.
Step 1
Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper as it cooks. Stir occasionally, breaking the meat into small chunks until it's fully cooked and crumbly, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, drain any excess grease and set the meat aside to cool.
Step 2
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, crushed nacho cheese tortilla chips, shredded Colby-Jack cheese, drained kidney beans, diced tomato, chopped onion, and pickled jalapeno peppers. Gently toss these ingredients together to create a colorful base for your salad.
Step 3
Now, let’s whip up the dressing! In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, white sugar, ketchup, taco seasoning mix, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Keep whisking until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and add the cooled ground beef. Toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing. This is where the magic happens, and the flavors meld beautifully!
Step 5
Serve your zesty taco salad immediately for the best crunch, or chill it for a bit if you prefer a cooler dish. Enjoy this delightful blend of flavors and textures that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering!
