I got this recipe from a church member at a potluck dinner. It makes a lot of salad and is great for any gathering. Enjoy!

1 pound of ground beef shopping list
1 package of taco seasoning (not hot) shopping list
1 14 ounce can of red kidney beans, drained and rinsed shopping list
One large head of iceberg lettuce or 2 small, washed and dried well shopping list
(A salad spinner works great here) shopping list
5 roma tomatoes , chopped fine shopping list
1 cup of finely chopped red onion shopping list
3 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese shopping list
1 16 ounce bottle of thousand island dressing shopping list
1 large bag of Nacho cheese Flavor Doritos, crushed. It's easy to just shopping list
open the bag and lay it flat on the counter and crush with your palms. shopping list

Brown the ground beef in a large frying pan. Add the taco seasoning with 3/4 cup of water, stir well, add the kidney beans and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let totally cool to room temperature.
Meat mixture should not be warm at all.
Tear the lettuce into a very large bowl. Add the tomatoes and onion.
Stir in the completely cooled meat mixture. Next, stir in all of the Thousand Island dressing and mix well. Add the cheese and Doritos; mixing well. Serve with favorite salsa or all on its own.

I use mayo, ketchup and taco sauce for my taco salad dressing. I am now going to use Thousand Island dressing. Thanks for the great idea!

I make my nachos almost exactly like this..with the exception of the Thousand Island dressing (love that addition). Sometimes I use a sausage and brown beef combination and cheez whiz. I'm going to try it your way next time. Thanks for posting.
