Step 3: Make the Creamy Dressing
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, and salsa. Mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust the salsa amount depending on how tangy or spicy you prefer the dressing. Set aside until ready to use.
Step 4: Assemble the Salad
Add the slightly cooled taco-seasoned beef to the bowl of vegetables. Sprinkle in the shredded cheese and gently toss everything together so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5: Add the Dressing
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients without crushing the vegetables. The dressing should lightly coat the salad, not overpower it.
Step 6: Finish with Doritos
Just before serving, add the crushed Doritos on top. This keeps them crunchy and prevents them from becoming soggy. Lightly toss or leave them on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
Serving Tips and Variations
- Serve immediately for the best crunch and freshness.
- For extra protein, you can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or shredded chicken.
- Add corn, beans, or avocado for more flavor and nutrition.
- If serving for a party, keep the Doritos separate and let guests add them to their own bowls.
