• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 (1.25 oz.) package taco seasoning mix
• 1 (16 oz.) can chili beans
• 1 (16 oz.) bottle French dressing
• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 1 (14.5 oz.) package tortilla chips
• 2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 c. chopped tomatoes
• 4 Tbsp. sour cream
• 1/2 c. prepared salsa

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and drain excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning, chili beans and French-style dressing. Fill the dressing bottle 2/3 full of water and add to the skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Crush the bag of chips, open the bag, and toss the broken chips into a large bowl with the lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. When the meat mixture is done, combine it with the lettuce, tomatoes, chips and mix well. Then, add salsa and sour cream.
