Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Tortilla chips, crushed
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Salsa
• 1 medium Avocado, diced
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Drain excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

While the beef is cooking, prepare the salad base. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl along with the black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.

Step 5

Gently toss the salad ingredients together to combine. Divide the mixture evenly among four serving bowls or plates.

Step 6

Top each salad with a generous scoop of the seasoned ground beef. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salsa to each serving.

Step 7

Garnish with diced avocado and a lime wedge. Squeeze the lime juice over the salad just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious taco salad!
