Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 pound Ground beef (or turkey)
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup Black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 piece Avocado (diced)
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil and drape each tortilla over an upside-down oven-safe bowl or place them inside an oven-safe tortilla mold to create the bowl shape.

Step 3

Bake the tortillas for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let them cool slightly, then remove from the bowls and set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the flavors are well combined. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

Step 6

Prepare the salad by combining the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes (halved), and black beans in a large bowl.

Step 7

Divide the salad mixture evenly among the tortilla bowls.

Step 8

Top each salad with the seasoned ground beef, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
