Steps:
- Brown hamburger meat in frying pan. Drain off fat and return to pan with taco seasoning and water. Simmer meat an additional 3-5 minutes until most of water is absorbed. Allow meat to cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix lettuce, tomatoes, onion, avocados, beans, corn, cheese, and cooled taco meat.
- Mix as much dressing and Fritos as you desire when you are ready to serve salad.
- If you mix them in too early, the salad and Fritos will be soggy.
DORITOS® TACO SALAD
I love this dish! It reminds me of potlucks and summertime. It's full of every texture--warm, cool, crisp, soft, crunchy. It has a touch of sweetness and tanginess from the dressing, and the lovely nacho cheese flavor from the chips, with the taco-seasoned meat. It all works together deliciously and is a quick and easy meal that's ready to go anytime.

Steps:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat and saute ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper together until ground beef is browned and no longer pink and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and taco seasoning to the meat. Stir to coat and allow to simmer for 1 minute to thicken. Set aside to cool while you prep the salad.
- Add kidney beans, crushed chips, lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, and dressing to a large bowl. Top with meat mixture and toss gently to evenly combine. Serve immediately.

TWISTED TACO SALAD WITH FRITOS
This is a tweaked recipe from a family friend. It's awesome and makes a huge serving; perfect for potlucks. If not eating immediately, I put the cheese, onion and lettuce in a ziploc bag, the chopped tomatoes in a separate bag and keep the meat warm in a carrier [I like to keep it warm], then I assemble just before time to eat..mixing together and adding chips and dressing. I HATE soggy Dorito taco salad, so this fits the bill. My most requested "bring a dish" recipe!

Steps:
- Brown ground beef in skillet and drain. Season with garlic salt to taste.
- Add chopped lettuce, chopped and seeded tomatoes, cheese and onion to big bowl.
- If eating immediately, add warm ground beef to salad mixture.
- Just before serviing mix in Fritos and Western Salad Dressing. Be sure to mix carefully and don't dump the entire bottle of dressing in at once. You want to lightly coat with the dressing, not drown the salad in it. I always leave a little on the side if someone wants more.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings and dressings.
- Make sure to season the chicken well before cooking.
- If you don't have any taco seasoning, you can make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- You can use any type of salsa that you like, but a medium or spicy salsa will give the salad a nice kick.
- Be sure to chop the lettuce and tomatoes into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
- If you are using a store-bought dressing, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. You may want to thin it out with some water or vinegar.
- Serve the salad immediately after assembling so that the Fritos don't get soggy.
Conclusion:
Twisted Taco Salad with Fritos is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and texture, and the Fritos add a nice crunch.
