Secret Ingredient Taco Salad
This is a family favorite. It’s a very quick, inexpensive meal that can feed several people. The secret ingredient makes this dish fall into the absolutely-not-so-healthy category, but oh, it makes it taste so good.
Ingredients
Method
- Chop onion.
- Cook hamburger and onion in a frying pan over medium to medium-high heat until hamburger is browned.
- In the meantime, chop lettuce. Slice black olives, chop tomato, and slice scallions. Grate cheese. Add it all to a large bowl.
- And now for the secret ingredient: crush half the bag of Doritos and put them in the bowl. (You can skip this step if you want to.)
- When the hamburger is browned, drain it and put it back in the frying pan. Add the can of kidney beans and the can of tomato sauce.
- Add the spices and mix well.
- Simmer about 5 minutes. Add to the bowl and mix all of the ingredients well.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, and the remaining bag of Doritos.

Notes
Serves 6 easily, but don’t expect too much for leftovers.
You can skip the kidney beans and tomato sauce if you have a can of chili beans.
We don’t eat Doritos anymore because we try to stay away from non-organic corn (due to GMOs). However, I have discovered some organic Dorito-like chips at Whole Foods, and will occasionally splurge on them to make this dish.
