Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1/4 cup salsa
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup corn
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 cups Doritos, crushed or whole
1 small avocado, diced
Grated cheddar cheese to taste
1/4 to 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook until browned throughout.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in the taco seasoning and salsa, mixing well until the meat is coated and heated through.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, corn, diced onion, and diced tomatoes.
Top individual servings with the warm seasoned meat, grated cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream.
Just before serving, garnish with the crushed Doritos for the perfect crunch.

Notes

Customize by adding black beans, olives, or pickled jalapeños. Ensure you add the Doritos right before serving to keep them from getting soggy. Use fresh avocado to prevent browning.
