Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Taco Salad Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Once the beef is cooked through, drain any excess fat. Stir in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions, usually adding a bit of water and simmering for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the beef is cooking, chop the lettuce, dice the tomatoes, and prepare any additional toppings you desire.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, corn, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Add the Beef

    Once the seasoned beef has cooled slightly, add it to the salad mixture and toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Top the salad with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa just before serving. Enjoy your taco salad!
