Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 15-ounce can canned black beans
- 3 stalks green onions
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 cups tortilla chips
- 1 lime
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return to the stove. Add the taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water. Stir well to combine and simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
While the beef cools, prepare the vegetables: Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the green onions, and dice the avocado. Rinse and drain the black beans.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, layer the romaine lettuce, taco-seasoned ground beef, cherry tomatoes, black beans, shredded cheese, green onions, and diced avocado.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, salsa, and the juice of one lime. Drizzle this dressing over the salad.
Step 6
Lightly crush the tortilla chips and sprinkle them over the salad for a crunchy topping.
Step 7
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and serve immediately. Enjoy Marmie's Taco Salad with an extra squeeze of lime, if desired!
