Taco Meat

Salad Ingredients

Tortilla Bowls

Sour Cream and Salsa

Method

Prepare Taco Meat

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine, then let it simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

Prepare Tortilla Bowls

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Fry Tortillas

    Once the oil is hot, carefully place one tortilla into the oil. Use a slotted spoon to press the center down to form a bowl shape. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Assemble Salad

  1. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    In each tortilla bowl, start by adding a generous amount of shredded lettuce, followed by the seasoned taco meat, diced tomatoes, green onions, Cheddar Jack cheese, and black olives.

  2. 6

    Serve with Sides

    Serve each taco salad with a side of sour cream and homemade salsa.
