This is a nice twist on a taco salad. It works well for potlucks or family get-togethers.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 (16 ounce) package uncooked tri-color rotini pasta
- 1 (16 ounce) bottle French salad dressing
- 1 (14 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 6 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup chopped tomato
- 1 cup sliced green onions
- 1 (8 ounce) package nacho cheese-flavored corn chips (such as Doritos®), crushed
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and taco seasoning; saute until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Combine cooled beef and rotini with French dressing, black beans, and Cheddar cheese. Mix well and chill until ready to serve.
Step 4
Fold in lettuce, tomato, and green onions. Sprinkle crushed chips on top or serve on the side.
