Taco Salad
Report
Loaded with simply seasoned lean ground meat, crunchy veggies, and creamy black beans, this healthy Taco Salad recipe is a far cry from the cheese and sour cream laden fried tortilla bowls that large chain restaurants comically pass off as “salads.”

Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 pound ground bison or lean ground turkey
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 head romaine lettuce roughly chopped
- 1 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 corn roasted and kernels removed
- 2 corn tortillas sliced and fried or baked
Toppings
- cherry tomatoes halved
- avocado peeled, pitted, and diced
- Crumbled queso fresco
- green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground meat and brown. Using a potato masher, mash meat so you have small pieces of meat with no big chunks. Drain off excess grease.
- Add salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes. Salt to taste.
- Place lettuce on a serving plate and top with desired toppings.
- Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or a drizzle of lemon vinaigrette similar to this one.
Notes
- This simple taco salad comes together in just about 15 minutes if you follow these easy tips:
- Nutrition does not include any toppings.
- To make the most of your time and to get dinner on the table quickly, prep toppings while ground beef is cooking.
- Buy a large bag of pre-cut romaine lettuce to get dinner ready even faster. Romaine is my go to for tacos salads, but you can use any kind of greens you like.
- Feel free to use store bought tortilla strips to keep your dishes to a minimum.
