Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (low-sodium or homemade)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 6 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
• 2 Green onions, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 1 lime Fresh lime juice
• 0 to taste Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart into small crumbles as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in taco seasoning and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until seasonings are well incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables by chopping the romaine lettuce, halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the avocado, and slicing the black olives and green onions.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, layer the romaine lettuce as the base. Top with the cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cheese, olives, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Add a dash of hot sauce if desired for extra heat.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately.
