INGREDIENTS
  

Taco Salad

  • 10 oz (300 g) ground lean beef
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 2 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 5-6 cups romaine lettuce or iceberg
  • 1 cup Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup corn kernel or sweet corn
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar, grated
  • 1 3.8oz can of black olives
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • ½ pack corn chips , Doritos plain flavor or flavored
  • 1 large Avocado, diced

Catalina Dressing

  • 5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon honey or brown sugar, or white sugar
  • 4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon paprika, I like to use smoked
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili ground
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat add oil and once hot and sizzling, brown the beef for 9 about 6 minutes). Drain the excess fat if any and season with taco seasoning, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  • Remove from heat to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl or mason jar.
  • If you have time, chill the dressing for 30 minutes in the fridge to allow the flavors to blend better.
  • Assemble the salad.
  • On a large serving platter, add the first layer of lettuce, followed by crushed Dorito chips, cooked ground beef (here I like to add a little drizzle of the dressing on the beef), and top with all the toppings and the rest of the ingredients. Drizzle the Catalina dressing on top. Serve immediately.
  • This salad serves 3 dinner salad portions. Or about 6 as a side.
