Hearty, Tasty and Crunchy Frito Taco Salad

Building a Frito Salad

Taco salad ingredients are the same as what you’d put in a regular ground beef taco, but served over a bed of lettuce instead of in a taco shell. Make individual salads or assemble and serve a Frito taco salad bar and let everyone build their own! Assemble the base and let people choose their favorite dressing and add-ins!

  • Base: ground beef, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, shredded cheddar, Fritos corn chips
  • Dressing: salsa, Catalina dressing, avocado dressing, buttermilk ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing.
  • Add-Ins: peppers, onions, jalapenos, green chiles, black olives, sour cream, guacamole, or lime wedges.

  • Add taco seasoning (or homemade taco seasoning) and water and simmer until thickened.
