Ingredients

• 2 packs Instant ramen noodles
• 1 pound Ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 0.5 cup Tortilla chips, crushed
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions and set aside. Discard the seasoning packets that come with the noodles.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 4

Gently toss the cooked ramen noodles into the skillet with the seasoned ground beef, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated in the taco seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Mix in the black beans and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just to warm them through.

Step 6

Divide the noodle-beef mixture evenly among four serving bowls.

Step 7

Top each bowl with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños, if desired.

Step 8

Sprinkle crushed tortilla chips on top for added crunch, and garnish with fresh cilantro if you like.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Ramen Taco Bowls!
