Serving Size: 6

Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) lean ground beef
• 1 1.25 Ounces (oz) package taco seasoning mix, packaged
• 1 Head iceberg lettuce, shredded
• 1 Medium onion, minced
• 1 Medium green bell pepper, minced
• 3 Cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
• 2 Medium tomatoes, minced
• 4 Ounces (oz) tortilla chips, crushed
• 0.25 Cups French dressing

Steps

1. In a large, deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until evenly browned. Drain and discard any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning mix and prepare according to the package directions. Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.
2. In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled beef mixture, shredded lettuce, minced onion, minced bell pepper, shredded cheese, minced tomatoes, and crushed tortilla chips.
3. Drizzle the French dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
4. For optimal flavor and texture, serve the salad immediately. If you prefer a chilled salad, refrigerate for no more than 1 hour to prevent the lettuce and chips from becoming soggy.
5. Optional: Serve with additional toppings such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added flavor and creaminess.
