Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook while breaking it up with a spatula until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Drain excess grease from the skillet. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring well. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Spread the lettuce evenly across a large serving platter or individual bowls.

Step 4

Halve the grape tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the avocado and chop the cilantro. Set aside.

Step 5

Layer the black beans, corn, grape tomatoes, and red onion over the lettuce.

Step 6

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by the cooked taco beef.

Step 7

Crush the tortilla chips slightly and sprinkle them over the salad for crunch.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and salsa to make a quick dressing.

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side for individual customization.

Step 10

Top the salad with diced avocado, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy!
