Instructions

In a large skillet, cook ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper over medium-high heat until the beef is browned and the onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add water and taco seasoning, stirring to coat. Simmer for 1 minute to thicken, then set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, combine kidney beans, crushed Doritos, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese, and Catalina dressing. Top with the cooled meat mixture and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
