Sweet & Spicy Taco Salad - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 lb ground lean pork
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 -2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (depending on how much heat you like)
1/2 - 3/4 cup Catalina dressing
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper sauce (I like Frank's original)
1 (12 1/2 ounce) bag nacho cheese flavor Doritos
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 cups lettuce, chopped or shredded (about 1/2 a head)
1 tomatoes, diced
Garnish
sour cream (optional)
black olives (optional)
jalapeno (optional)
Preparation
-
In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add pork, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Cook until pork is no longer pink.
Add Catalina dressing and hot sauce. Taste sauce and adjust sweet/spicy to taste.
Raise heat to HIGH and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Crush Doritos on a plate (I normally plate this individually but you could serve family style on a platter as well), top with meat mixture, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Garnish as desired.
Enjoy!
