Taco Salad

Pan-SearedEasyPrep 15 minCook 10 minServes 4

All the taco-night flavors over crisp lettuce: seasoned ground beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes and a crunchy chip topping.

Ingredients

1 ground beef (1 lb)
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp kosher salt
8 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
½ cup sour cream, for serving
1 avocado, diced, for serving

Steps

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up, for 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and salt, plus a splash of water, and cook 2 minutes more.
Divide the lettuce among bowls and top with the seasoned beef, black beans, tomatoes and cheddar.
Finish with crushed tortilla chips, sour cream and avocado, and serve immediately.

Serve with: tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream and lime wedges.

Add the chips last and at the table if you can — they are the first thing to go soggy.
