Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Zesty Taco Pasta Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning and a splash of water, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked rotini, browned beef, cherry tomatoes, green onions, cheddar, and Monterey Jack. Pour in Catalina dressing and mix until well coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld.
- Before serving, gently stir the salad and fold in Doritos for crunch.
