This Taco Pasta Salad is loaded with ground beef, tomatoes, corn, beans, and cheddar cheese. Tossed in creamy French dressing and finished with crushed Doritos!
Ingredients
- 1 pound uncooked rotini
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ounce package taco seasoning
- 2 cups chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn (drained)
- ½ small red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup French dressing (see recipe)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups crushed Doritos
Instructions
- Cook the rotini according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble the ground beef until no longer pink, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, add the drained rotini, taco beef, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, black beans, corn, and red onion. Whisk the French dressing and mayonnaise in a small bowl, then pour on top of the salad. Toss to combine.
- Right before serving, fold in the crushed Doritos so they retain their crunchiness.
