Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 head Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Grape tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups Fritos corn chips
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Lime (juiced)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring well to combine. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
While the beef is cooking, wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the grape tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the shredded cheddar cheese and black beans.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, salsa, chopped cilantro, and lime juice to make the dressing. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked ground beef to the salad bowl and gently toss to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Right before serving, add the Fritos corn chips to the salad for crunch and drizzle the dressing over the top. Toss lightly to coat everything in the dressing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Twisted Taco Salad with Fritos!
