Method

Cooking the Protein

  1. 1

    Brown the Beef or Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat. If using chicken, cook it in the skillet until fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes, then shred.

  2. 2

    Add Taco Seasoning

    Stir in the taco seasoning and black beans (drained and rinsed) to the beef or chicken. Add a splash of water if needed. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Preparing the Salad Base

  1. 3

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the protein is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and avocado into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large salad bowl, add the chopped romaine, tomatoes, red onion, corn, and avocado. Toss gently to combine.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Add the Protein

    Spoon the seasoned beef or chicken over the salad mixture.

  2. 6

    Top with Cheese and Dressing

    Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.

  3. 7

    Finish with Toppings

    Add sour cream, salsa, and tortilla chips on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
