Cook the Ground Beef

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
2. Once fully cooked, drain off any excess grease.
3. Set the meat aside to cool slightly while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Assemble the Base of the Salad

1. In a large serving bowl, combine the lettuce, grated cheddar cheese, kidney beans, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, and green onions.
2. Gently toss the ingredients to distribute evenly.

Add the Beef and Chips

1. Just before serving, add the slightly cooled ground beef to the salad mixture.
2. Pour in the Fritos corn chips and gently toss everything together.

Dress and Serve

1. Drizzle Catalina dressing over the top of the salad, a little at a time.
2. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated, using as much or as little dressing as preferred.
3. Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.
