Method

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, garlic powder, chili powder, and black pepper until the meat is brown and crumbly, approximately 10 minutes. Break up the meat into chunks as it cooks.

  2. Drain any excess grease from the skillet and remove it from the heat. Allow the meat to cool.

  3. In a large salad bowl, combine lettuce, tortilla chips, Colby-Jack cheese, kidney beans, tomato, onion, and pickled jalapeno peppers. Mix well.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, sugar, ketchup, taco seasoning, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until the sugar has dissolved.

  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

  6. If you prefer, you can add the tortilla chips just before serving to keep them crunchy. Alternatively, you can let them marinate in the dressing for added flavor.
