Hellooooooo taco fans! I’m a taco fan and I’m always looking for new combinations of ingredients and dressings to put on those ingredients. This one is a slam-dunk of a combination, it’s crunchy, delicious, and just tastes like everything you want in a taco salad!
If you’re a fan of my Creamy Salsa Dressing, Chicken Fajita Taco Salad, or my Virgin Margarita, you’re going to fall-in-LOVE with this recipe!
I'm loving this black bean and Dorito taco salad combo because:
- It requires absolutely no cooking, whatsoever. Making it perfect for hot evenings in the summer (and who has time to cook when there’s swimming to do).
- The flavors are taco-licious: it has all the classic taco flavors, it’s perfect.
- It has Doritos - and we all know those are tasty chips!
- Makes a great walking taco - just serve these ingredients with mini Dorito bags and you have a vegetarian lunch you can eat poolside!
Ingredients + substitutions
- Romaine lettuce - washed and chopped, you can swap it for any lettuce you have. Iceberg is a good choice, buttercrunch is too. I don’t think arugula is a suitable swap but you can certainly use it, too!
- Black beans - a whole can, drained and rinsed. You can swap the black beans for pinto!
- Cherry tomatoes - or use whatever tomato you have, just dice it up!
- Doritos - crush them up! Classic or cool ranch are the best flavors, but you can use hot Doritos too if you like things *spicy*!
- Cheddar cheese - shredded. I used pre-shredded ones to keep things easy.
- Red onion - for some color and crunch. Red cabbage would also be nice to add a little color, or go ahead and use both!
- Jalapeno - for just a little spice. If you’re not a fan of spice, leave this out, or swap it with red or green bell pepper instead.
- Cilantro - for flavor! If you’re not a cilantro fan, leave it out!
For the dressing just whisk together: sour cream, salsa, lime juice, red wine vinegar, chili powder and cumin. Serve it on the side!
