Ingredients

  • 8 cups romaine lettuce or shredded cabbage, chopped
  • 1 avocado (pitted and diced)
  • 1 cup red onion (minced)
  • 1 cup tomato (diced)
  • 16 tortilla chips
  • 1 cup cilantro (roughly chopped)
  • jalapeno pepper optional, to serve, jalapeño sliced, lime wedges
  • lime optional, to serve, jalapeño sliced, lime wedges
Beef and Corn Mixture
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 batch taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add ground beef to the pan and begin breaking down using a potato masher or wooden spoon. Sprinkle in taco seasoning mix and cook until beef is browned about 8-10 minutes. During the last minute or so of cook time, add in the corn and heat until warmed through; remove from heat and set aside.
  2. To assemble taco salad bowls, fill four bowls with two cups of lettuce of cabbage as a base. Top with equal parts beef and corn mixture, red onion, tomato, avocado, and tortilla chips. Garnish with cilantro, lime and jalapeno slices if you wish.

Notes

  • I don’t typically use a dressing with this salad as the beef is flavorpacked and the creamy avocado becomes a bit of a dressing when I mix everything together. If you wish to drizzle with dressing I recommend my honey lime vinagirette recipe. 
  • Swapping out guacamole for the plain avocado or pico de gallo for the tomatoes and onions is always a good idea.
