1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
8 oz 85% lean ground beef
4 oz unsalted dark red kidney beans

6 oz romaine lettuce chopped
2 oz cheddar cheese shredded
4 oz avocado cubed
1/4 cup green onions finely chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 oz tortilla chips crumbled

Mix all salsa ingredients in a large bowl. Refrigerate.
In a medium-high heated skillet, add olive oil, beef and spices. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the rinsed beans. Stir for another minute and then turn off the stove.
Put the Doritos chips in a bowl, then smash them using a large spoon (using a ladle works best.) Set aside.
