Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Corn (cooked)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Tortilla chips (crushed)
- 1 Avocado (diced)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Lime (juiced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully coated and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.
Add the cooked taco-seasoned beef to the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, salsa, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Top the salad with diced avocado and extra cilantro for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade taco salad!
