Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add taco seasoning to the cooked beef, stirring well to combine. Add a little water if needed, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Bowl

    While the beef is cooking, prepare the tortilla bowls according to package instructions, if necessary.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In each tortilla bowl, layer the seasoned beef, followed by corn, diced tomatoes, black olives, shredded Cheddar cheese, and Monterrey Jack cheese.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top each salad with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with your choice of dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortilla bowls are crispy and the toppings are fresh.
