- In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked hamburger, shredded 1 head lettuce, chopped 1 onion, diced 4 tomatoes, and rinsed 1 can kidney beans.
- Add the 6 ounces Thousand Island dressing and hot sauce to taste, tossing gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and crisp.
- Fold in the crushed 1 package Doritos right before serving to maintain a satisfying crunch.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Combine the meat and vegetables without the Doritos and dressing ahead of time; add the dressing and chips just before serving to keep the salad crisp.
