Doritos Taco Salad is one of those dishes that everyone seems to love. You can serve it all tossed together in a large bowl or serve it with all the ingredients set out, Taco bar style, and let everyone assemble their own taco salad just the way they like it.

Can I Make This Taco Salad Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can! Doritos Taco salad can be made ahead of time. You will need to layer the ingredients starting with the cooked seasoned ground beef, then add the beans, tomatoes, lettuce and cheese.

Add the crushed Doritos and dressing right before serving. Layering will help to prevent the ingredients from getting soggy.
