Method

Preparing the Protein

  1. 1

    Cook the Protein

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Protein

    Add the taco seasoning to the cooked meat. Stir to combine, then add 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add the cherry tomatoes (halved), diced red onion, corn kernels, and black beans. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 4

    Add the Protein

    Once the meat is cooked and seasoned, add it on top of the salad base. Mix gently to distribute the protein evenly.

Adding Toppings

  1. 5

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the salad mixture.

  2. 6

    Add Sour Cream and Guacamole

    Dollop the sour cream and guacamole on top of the salad. You can either serve them separately or mix them in.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Garnish the Salad

    If desired, add tortilla chips for crunch and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top for added flavor.
