Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 8-10 minutes.

Add taco seasoning and follow packet instructions to season the beef. Once done, set it aside to cool slightly.

Rinse and drain the black beans, and set them aside.

Step 5

In a large, clean, unscented garbage bag, combine the lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, black beans, and the slightly cooled ground beef.

Step 6

Before serving, crush the bag of Doritos slightly without opening, and add the pieces directly into the garbage bag.

Step 7

Pour the ranch dressing and sour cream over the ingredients in the bag.

Step 8

Seal the garbage bag tightly, and shake and massage the bag until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

Step 9

Serve the salad right out of the bag or transfer it to a large bowl for presentation. Enjoy immediately.
