Yes, Doritos
I’m not preaching this as health food. I know some folks love to hate on Doritos. So, if that is you, just click away now. 😉 For everyone else – let’s enjoy this layered goodness of seasoned ground beef, Doritos, kidney beans, diced tomatoes, lettuce, two kinds of cheeses and catalina dressing. Oh yeah!
Toppings
I go crazy with toppings on this because I love it all. I put some sour cream, sliced jalapeños, guacamole and salsa on top before serving.
As with most casseroles, this is totally tailored to the flavors you love. It’s definitely a casserole folks are going to ask you to make again and again!

Pssssh. Anyone who has a problem with Doritos has a problem with me. This sounds great!
Haha! Love ya Mary!
This looks excellent..right up my family’s alley for their taste buds !
Thank you Robyn!!
Can’t wait to try this. Grandkids will love it!
I have made taco salad like this for years but instead of Catalina dressing I mix equal parts mayo and salsa. I brown the burger and add the beans and dressing. Cut up a head of lettuce, add shredded cheese , crushed doritos and tomato stir in burger dressing and eat while warm.
What type/brand of Catalina do you prefer? I don’t keep Catalina on hand so I would like to use the one you do. Cant wait to try this recipe and your recipes are the best. Thank you!
I ate this very thing tonight what a co-wink-a-dink. Well, we do Taco Tuesdays and hardly ever miss on those. Anyways, I just wanted to add that we use the Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips from Trader Joe’s. Let me just say (I am a Doritos fan 15 years strong) that I am officially done with Doritos. These chips are far better and “healthier” than Doritos without the MSG!
I make this as a taco salad and have for DECADES! I discovered it when we lived on the Air Force Academy grounds and another woman brought it to a cook out. I don’t add any soup mixes, just the taco mix to the meat. I get rave reviews whenever I make it.
Oh yes! I have that recipe too for Dorito Taco Salad. This is more of a casserole recipe so it’s a bit heartier. 🙂 https://www.thecountrycook.net/dorito-taco-salad/
