Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ⅔ cup water
- 1 ounce taco seasoning mix (1 package)
- 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce

Taco Salad Dressing
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup salsa
Instructions
- Make dressing by combining sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. Mix until well combined and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Add ground beef to a large skillet and cook on medium-high heat. Cook the beef until no longer pink and crumbly. Drain grease off.
- Add water and taco seasoning mix to ground beef. Cook until water is evaporated, making sure to stir occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Assemble as one large salad with lettuce on bottom, followed by tortilla chips, meat, tomatoes, avocado, corn and cheese.
- Serve with chips and dressing.

Notes
- It can be difficult to store leftovers of this salad because you’ll want to heat the meat up for leftovers. So, I recommend only building as much taco salad as you plan to eat and storing all the ingredients separately.
- You can mix together the cheese, veggies, and lettuce and store together. Then store the ground beef separately. Everything stored in airtight containers will last for 4 days in the fridge.
