Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Stir in taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add a splash of water if needed to help the seasoning distribute. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until well combined.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, chop the romaine lettuce and place it as the base of the salad.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Top the romaine with the seasoned meat, pico de gallo, shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and drizzle with chipotle ranch dressing.

  5. 5

    Serve in Tortilla Bowls

    Carefully place the assembled salad into the fried tortilla bowls. Serve immediately and enjoy!
