Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber
- 0.5 Red onion
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Tortilla chips
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Guacamole
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
While the beef is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, peel and dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these vegetables to the salad bowl along with the lettuce.
Top the salad with shredded cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
Spoon the cooked and seasoned ground beef over the salad, distributing it evenly.
Serve the salad with dollops of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on top or on the side.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, if desired. Toss just before serving, and enjoy immediately!
