I love this recipe, hae made it a couple of times and the Catalina give a twag that it needs, it is also excellent the next day, not bad cold either. By the way Molly, I'm sure plain Doritos are the Nacho Cheese ones, since they are the original ones

    I had actually never tried Catalina dressing, and was suprised to find that it tastes very similar to taco sauce. I didn't know what kind of taste it would have. I mixed this all up in a big bowl, and my family of 5 ended up eating about half of it. I put a lid on it and put it in the fridge, but after reading some of the other reviews, I think I should have kept the meat and chips separate from the lettuce mixture. I guess I didn't think of doing that b/c we usually don't have any taco salad leftovers, but this recipe made a lot. It was definately delicious. I wondered what you meant by "Plain Doritos". I've never seen just plain Doritos, so I thought maybe you meant the original ones with cheese, so that's what i used. It was good. My young daughter said "This is good. Those chips taste just like Doritos!" Ha ha.

    I was looking for something different to make using ground beef and came across this recipe. I was skeptical about trying it because of the dressing but it was good. I used Frito Lay corn chip scoops instead of the doritos. Instead of mixing it all together, I made individual salads and topped it off with a dollop of sour cream. The leftover ingredients are easier to store this way and you don't have to worry about the salad getting soggy. My son and I really enjoyed this meal.
