Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 Bag of Shredded Lettuce
1 Small Onion, Diced
3 Small Tomatoes, Chopped
3 Cups Finely Shredded All Natural Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 Can Drained Dark Red Kidney Beans
2 LBS Browned Ground Beef, Drained (Ground Turkey is also good here)
1 Packet of Taco Seasoning Mix (I use Lawry’s)
1 Bottle of Catalina Salad Dressing (I use Kraft)
1 Bag of Doritos, broken pieces (I use Taco flavored and crush them in the bag)
Directions:
Directions:
Brown ground beef/turkey, drain and add seasoning mix and water per the package directions, let simmer for 5 – 10 min.
Take off heat and let cool for 15 min.
In extra large bowl mix lettuce, onion, tomatoes, cheese, kidney beans (after they are drained and rinsed). Mix well. (after beef has cooled to the touch) Add ground beef and mix well again .
5 minutes before you are ready to serve, add ¾ bottle of the dressing and mix well. Add the entire bag of chips and mix. As the salad becomes dry go ahead and add the last ¼ bottle of dressing and mix well. Serve right away.
Once the chips and dressing are added, the salad must be served quickly as the chips will get soggy within the first 30-45 min. of serving

*Gluten Free option (use McCormick Taco Seasoning that is Gluten Free and use any Tostito Chips that are Gluten Free)

Personal Notes:
Originally one of MY Aunt Patty's recipes that I loved as a kid. I just adjusted the meat/beans variation.
