Prepare Taco Meat
Place ground beef in a medium pan and cook over medium-high heat until browned. We use a meat chopper when cooking taco meat. After meat has cooked use a colander or strainer to drain fat. Put meat back into pan and discard fat in a disposable container. Add taco spice, water and salsa to cooked ground beef and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until liquid has reduced then set aside to cool.

Prepare Taco Salad
Note: If you don't plan on eating the entire salad within 6-12 hours then add ingredients to the salad just prior to eating that way you won't have a soggy salad.
Place chopped lettuce in a large bowl. Add seasoned taco meat, diced tomatoes, black beans, Dorito chips and Dorothy Lynch Salad Dressing and stir to combine. Top salad with avocado slices, black olives, green onions and grated cheese and serve. Be sure to top off with a little sour cream if desired.
