• Let the taco-seasoned beef cool a bit before adding it.  You don’t want it to wilt your lettuce!
• You can prepare the taco salad ahead of time but don’t add the dressing or the chips until you are ready to toss and serve!
• For an added flavor, blacken your corn!
• If you don’t like a particular ingredient, swap it out for another.  As I always say, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
• The salad dressing can be mixed up to 2 days in advance. This salad is equally delicious with French dressing or ranch dressing.
• You can substitute cool ranch Doritos for the nacho cheese Doritos.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, the chips and lettuce will begin to break down fairly quickly. For best results, serve the salad promptly.
