"Kicked Up" Taco Salad

This taco salad has great flavor and is fun to make because it's a little different from traditional taco salads. You use Doritos for the chips and add pineapple to the top. Yes, pineapple makes this salad excellent! The sweetness of it tastes great with the spicy taco meat. Give it a try you'll be hooked for life. I first had a taco salad like this at the home of one of my college roomates Luisa, when she invited us to dinner. We loved it and since then I've made it a lot this way. It is a very simple supper and great for parties and get-togethers because guests can customize their salads or even bring one item for it. Below is a list of the ingredients I use in my salads but you can use what you like. There are no measurements because you make it according to how many people your feeding. I like to make my own ranch dressing out of the Hidden Valley Ranch packets. That ranch is much better than the bottled kind.

Recipe:

ground beef

taco seasoning packet (I use Schilling)

Cool Ranch Doritos

lettuce

cheese, shredded

salsa

ranch dressing

pineapple

other ideas:

beans

chili

olives

tomatoes

onions

peppers

sour cream

Brown the ground beef and add taco seasoning packet. On a plate layer Doritos, taco meat, cheese, lettuce, salsa, ranch, and pineapple. Eat! You can add other items of your choice.
