Wash, chop and dry lettuce (I like using a salad spinner). Chop tomatoes and green onions.Grate cheese.Drain and rinse kidney beans.Brown ground beef. Drain grease. Cool, either in the pan or if in hurry transfer to a plate and spread to cool.Combine lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, kidney beans, beef in bowl. Toss to evenly distribute.*Add, crushed tortilla chips, , toss, add cheese, toss, add salad dressing and toss.Serve immediately.
*At this point, if you will not be needing the entire batch you can separate what you want and add the correct portion of chips, cheese and dressing. Saving the remainder for later. (I do this if I want to take it for lunch the next day).
