Haven't made it for a very long time - but seeing your post has awoken a craving for some, so I'll have to grab some Doritos when I go to the store Sun morning (to stock up on reduced price Halloween candy for upcoming baking). I would later come to find that this type of taco salad is also called a haystack…a taco haystack in this case.
