1 cup canned corn rinsed and drained
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

To assemble, add a generous layer of Doritos to the bottom of each bowl or plate.

Add your favourite toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately to keep chips crispy!

Can I make this Dorito Taco Salad ahead of time?
Yes. Keep all the ingredients separate and assemble just before serving so the chips stay crunchy.

Can I use a different protein?
Absolutely. Ground turkey, ground chicken, or even shredded chicken work great.

What kind of Doritos work best?
Nacho Cheese Doritos are the classic choice, but you can also try Cool Ranch for a different flavor.

Can I make it lighter?
Yes. Use lean ground beef, add extra lettuce, and keep toppings simple for a lighter option.
