# What You'll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 1 pound 95% lean ground beef
02 - 1.25 ounce packet reduced sodium taco seasoning

→ Produce

03 - 1 medium-large head iceberg lettuce, chopped into bite-sized pieces

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon until fully cooked.
02 - Stir in the reduced sodium taco seasoning packet, mixing thoroughly to coat the beef evenly, then remove from heat.
03 - In a large serving bowl, combine chopped iceberg lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and the seasoned ground beef.
04 - When ready to serve, gently fold in the broken Doritos and Catalina dressing, tossing to evenly coat all ingredients without crushing the chips.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Add Doritos and dressing immediately before serving to prevent sogginess.
02 - For portion control, consider using pre-packaged 1-ounce Doritos bags.
