Notes

Always use lean ground beef because it has lower fat content, is juicy, and cooks easily.
Assemble the salad right before serving. If you mix it earlier, the lettuce might wilt and lose its crispiness due to the seasoning and dressing.
You can add mashed avocado or Guacamole , broccoli, and other veggies of your choice to the dish.
You can serve it with tortilla wraps, chips, beans, or Mexican rice. But, you can have it on its own also as a bowl.
Taco salad comprises lettuce and other vegetables that make it crunchy, while the dressing makes it creamy. So the veggies are the highlight of it. As for nachos, the tortilla chips on which everything is piled are the main ingredient.
You can eat it as the main course or as a side. If you want to get creative, make a taco bar where you can arrange all the ingredients in separate bowls so that people can build their own taco salads based on their diet.
If you’ve prepared this recipe beforehand, make sure to refrigerate the ingredients separately in the fridge so the vegetables don’t lose their crunch. However, leftover can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
