Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 2 cups tortilla chips
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup black beans
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup cilantro
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain the excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the beef is well coated. Set aside.
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, and finely chop the green onions and cilantro. Set aside all vegetables for assembly.
On a large platter or shallow serving dish, create the base layer with the romaine lettuce.
Evenly distribute the cooked taco meat over the lettuce layer.
Scatter the black beans and cherry tomatoes over the meat.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the platter.
Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole across the platter, followed by drizzling salsa over the layers.
Top with green onions and fresh cilantro for garnish.
Serve with tortilla chips on the side for scooping and enjoy this fun, shareable dish!
