Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the excess fat from the skillet, then add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and let simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the liquid has reduced and the beef is well coated. Set aside.
Step 3
Wash and chop the romaine lettuce, slice the cherry tomatoes in halves, and finely chop the green onions and cilantro. Set aside all vegetables for assembly.
Step 4
On a large platter or shallow serving dish, create the base layer with the romaine lettuce.
Step 5
Evenly distribute the cooked taco meat over the lettuce layer.
Step 6
Scatter the black beans and cherry tomatoes over the meat.
Step 7
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the platter.
Step 8
Add dollops of sour cream and guacamole across the platter, followed by drizzling salsa over the layers.
