Ingredients

Scale

15oz/450g ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning mix, original or low-fat to taste, or homemade

1/3 cup tomato ketchup

4 tbsp honey

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp onion, chopped

1 tsp sweet paprika

½ cup vegetable oil, approximately

4oz/115g shredded sharp cheddar cheese, regular or reduced-fat, to taste

2 tomatoes, diced

1 lard head iceberg lettuce, hand-shredded

4.5oz/150g nacho cheese Doritos, low-sodium or reduced-fat, or to taste

Salt and pepper

Instructions

1 – Drizzle a large skillet with oil, stir in the ground beef mixture to break into small chunks. Fry until ground beef loses its raw red color. Combine taco seasoning and stir for 2 minutes more, until brown and fragrant. Season with salt, turn off the heat and set aside.

2 – For the dressing, combine tomato ketchup, honey, vinegar, Worcestershire, onion, paprika, and 1 tsp salt in a blender and mix for 1 minute. Add vegetable oil and keep blending until well combined. Adjust seasoning, reserve ½ cup dressing for this salad, and keep remaining in the fridge for the future.

3 – Just before serving, put in a salad bowl 1/3 cup dressing, ground beef, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and Doritos. Toss to coat ingredients, top with remaining 2 or 3 tbsp of the dressing, and serve.

Notes

Toss salad just before serving, considering both lettuce and Doritos wilt quickly.
