- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup Catalina salad dressing

- Add Crunch: Sprinkle Fritos over the top of each salad bowl, providing a crunchy texture and delicious flavor.
- Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the Fritos layer, allowing it to melt slightly into the warm meat.
- Dressing Time: Drizzle Catalina salad dressing over the top of each salad bowl, providing a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the savory elements.
- Optional Toppings: Customize each taco salad bowl with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, or diced avocado.
