Step-by-Step Instructions for Taco Pasta Salad
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the dried rotini pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes. Drain fat, stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, beef mixture, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced green onions, shredded cheeses, and drizzle in the Catalina dressing. Toss to coat.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld.
- Just before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and fold in the crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos.

Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Keep crushed Doritos separate until serving to maintain their crunch. Can freeze without Doritos for up to 3 months.
