You could use chicken, turkey or sausage. There is never a right or wrong when it comes to the meat you choose for your family.
Why is there Catalina Dressing?
The Catalina blends well in the salad, a little sweet and a little tang could only increase the flavor combinations in this salad.
How can I make this dish healthier?
My first suggestion is to swap out the full fat Sour Cream for Low fat. A second suggestion is to use mixed greens, a combination of Spinach, Kale, iceberg, Romaine. There are usually options already packaged at the supermarket.
Why is there no cheese in the recipe?
The Doritos contain a cheese powder on the outside, I did not add additional cheese, because I did not want the recipe overpowered by cheese. Feel free to add a Mexican blend if you want.
