Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup water
- 6 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the ground beef in the skillet until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
While the beef cools, prepare the salad base. Chop the romaine lettuce and place it in a large serving bowl.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl along with the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, salsa, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth to create the dressing.
Add the cooked beef to the salad bowl, followed by the diced avocado and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve immediately and enjoy the Taco Salad Wow!
