Directions
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart into small crumbles as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in taco seasoning and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until seasonings are well incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the romaine lettuce, halving the cherry tomatoes, dicing the avocado, and slicing the black olives and green onions.
Step 4
In a large salad bowl, layer the romaine lettuce as the base. Top with the cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cheese, olives, green onions, and cilantro.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and lime juice until smooth. Add a dash of hot sauce if desired for extra heat.
Step 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately.
