This quick and easy Vegetarian Dorito Taco Salad is an amazing way to load up on veggies with all the flavor and crunch of your favorite tacos!
I’m all about taco-ing my salads.
While I LOVE a good crunchy taco, they always end up in a taco salad-like pile on my plate anyways so I just skip ahead to the good part and make myself a big ole bowl of yum.
This delicious vegetarian-friendly version of a dorito taco salad has all the best taco toppings and flavors and is ready to be topped with all your favorites!
For that token taco salad crunch, we’re letting doritos in on the action. The nacho cheese seasoning on them adds an extra level of flavor that really kicks things up. Love it so!
