Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 20
• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 2 (1 1/4 ounce) packages taco seasoning mix
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 4 tomatoes, chopped (i use roma)
• 2 avocados, peeled and chopped
• 1 1/2 cups black olives, sliced
• 12 cups nacho chips, 1 large (i use doritos)
• 1 (8 ounce) bottle catalina dressing (my the best french salad dressing will also work well)

Recipe

• 1 brown ground beef with the chopped yellow onion (not red).
• 2 add in only 1 package taco mix (and water according to the package direction); set aside to cool completely.
• 3 in a large bowl, mix together chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (can use more than 2 cups if desired, and the cheese may be cubed small instead of shredded) avocados, red onion, olives, and the second package of taco seasoning mix.
• 4 add to cooled beef mixture; toss to combine.
• 5 just before serving toss with the salad dressing.
• 6 the last step (just before serving) is to mix in about three-quarters of the package of crushed doritos, leaving the rest on the side for your guests who want extra (they will get soggy if you mix them in too early!).
