Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Corn tortilla chips
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, followed by the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the beef cools, rinse and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Dice the avocado and toss it gently with lime juice to prevent browning.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, salsa, half of the chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Add the cooked and slightly cooled beef to the salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Garnish with the remaining cilantro and additional crushed tortilla chips, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
