Instructions
Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat on your campfire or portable stove.
Add olive oil to the skillet, then add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, and avocado. Toss gently to combine.
Divide the salad base onto individual serving plates or bowls.
Top each plate with a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly across each serving.
Add a handful of crushed tortilla chips on top for crunch.
Serve with dollops of sour cream and salsa on the side or on top, as desired.
Enjoy immediately while the ground beef is still warm and the tortilla chips are crispy.
