Dorito Taco Salad is made with vegan ground beef, lettuce, black beans, olives and tomatoes, covered in a Catalina dressing. This Taco Salad comes together really fast and the whole family will enjoy it.
I have a fondness for taco recipes like this Taco Mac, the Taco Rice, my Taco Casserole, or the Taco Spaghetti.
This is such a great Taco Salad recipe that is amazing for many occasions: potlucks, BBQs, get togethers, parties. You can be sure this salad will never disappoint you.
Pretty basic, but yet so impressive and rich in flavor. A keeper that comes together in around 15 minutes.
Why you know you will love this Dorito Taco Salad
Doritos: I have to admit sweet chili is my flavor, because I really like combination of sweetness and spiciness, so good.
Black beans and vegan ground beef crumbles are always here for a pretty darn texture.
The dressing: seriously my Catalina Dressing is amazing here, but to aim for more variety I can tell you I’ve tried Ranch Dressing and Thousand Island Dressing as well and it was so good.
Step by step pictures make everything so visually easy to prepare. You won’t believe how fast it can be to prepare something great.

Fantastic recipe, my family loved it! I used the Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos (they are vegan). I also added a cob of fresh corn since it’s in season now and used Impossible burger. I was skeptical about the Catalina dressing recipe because my husband doesn’t like ketchup but it turned out great…. Shh, don’t tell him! I will definitely make this again.
