Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 4 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Black beans
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 large Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil.

Step 3

Invert 4 oven-safe bowls or large ramekins onto a baking sheet and drape each tortilla over the bottom of each bowl to form a bowl shape.

Step 4

Bake the tortillas for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the bowls before gently removing them.

Step 5

While the tortilla bowls are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a wooden spoon.

Step 6

Drain excess fat from the beef, then add taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Prepare the salad ingredients: rinse and chop lettuce, halve cherry tomatoes, and dice the avocado.

Step 8

To assemble the salad, start by layering 1 cup of shredded lettuce into each baked tortilla bowl.

Step 9

Add equal portions of taco-seasoned ground beef, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn kernels, and shredded cheese into each bowl.

Step 10

Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a few slices of avocado.

Step 11

Sprinkle with salt and pepper for extra flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
