Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix

1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (8 ounce) bottle Catalina salad dressing
1 (9.75 ounce) package tortilla chips, crushed
Instructions
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly. Drain off excess grease.

Add the seasoned ground beef to the vegetable mixture.
Pour Catalina salad dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
Serve immediately with crushed tortilla chips.
Notes
You can customize this salad with your favorite taco toppings like black olives, avocado, or sour cream.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground beef.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but it’s best to add the tortilla chips just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
