Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce (chopped)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Corn (cooked)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Tortilla chips (crushed)
- 1 Avocado (diced)

Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Drain excess fat from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the beef is fully coated and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat.
Step 3
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.
Step 4
Add the cooked taco-seasoned beef to the salad mixture and gently toss to combine.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, salsa, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 7
Top the salad with diced avocado and extra cilantro for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade taco salad!
