DORITO SALAD

Especially good served with cheese enchiladas and re-fried beans.

SALAD:
1 head of lettuce torn in bite-size pieces
2 to 3 medium meaty tomatoes, cut into medium-size cubes
2 avocados, cubed (lightly sprinkle with fresh lemon juice to retain their color)
8 oz Cheddar Cheese, grated
4 green onions, chopped
1 small can chopped black olives, drained
GROUND BEEF MIXTURE:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 pkg dry Taco Seasoning
TO SERVE:
1 medium size pkg of Doritos, regular flavor, broken up
1 pkg dry Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix, prepared according to directions

SALAD:
Combine all salad ingredients in a large salad bowl. Cover with Saran wrap and refrigerate.

GROUND BEEF MIXTURE:
Place ground beef, chopped onions, and crushed garlic in a skillet. Add 3/4 pkg Dry Taco Seasoning and work into the raw meat with the back of a large spoon. Cook over medium heat stirring often, until onions are done and meat is cooked through, but not overcooked. Drain and let cool.

TO ASSEMBLE SALAD:
Drain any liquid from the bottom of the salad bowl; add the cooled ground beef mixture and Doritos (broken up), to salad mixture. Toss lightly and add the Good Seasons Italian dressing.
