Taco Salad

Step 1

Start by dicing the onion and poblano pepper. Sauté the onion and poblano pepper for a couple of minutes on medium heat. Add in the ground beef and cook everything until it has finished browning. Add in the garlic and chili powders, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

When the ground beef has finished browning drain off any excess grease and set aside to cool.

Step 3

A great way to cool and drain ground beef is to pour it into a colander that is lined with a few paper towels.

Step 4

While the ground beef is cooling, chop up the lettuce, cut the cheddar cheese into small bite-sized cubes, half the cherry tomatoes, and cut the red and green peppers into bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

Mix the Western dressing and taco sauce together.

Step 6

To serve, combine the lettuce, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and ground beef together with the dressing. Add the Doritos before serving, crumbling them slightly with your hands as they are added to the salad.
