Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet taco seasoning about 1 ounce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 1/2 cup red onion diced
- 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 cup tortilla chips roughly crushed
Dressing Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1/2 cup salsa your favorite kind
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease, and set aside to cool slightly.
- For the dressing, whisk together Greek yogurt, salsa, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Start assembling the salad in a large serving bowl, serving platter, or individual plates. Begin with the romaine, followed by the cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, black beans, red onion, avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Add the cooked ground beef to the salad. Sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top for crunch.
- Serve the salsa-yogurt dressing on the side, so each person can add their preferred amount.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
- Making Ahead
- You can cook the beef and prepare the dressing in advance. Store them separately in the fridge, and assemble the salad just before serving.
- Reheat the cooked ground beef in a microwave or skillet until warm before serving it with the salad.
