Ingredients
- 1 lb. 90% lean ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, etc.)
- 1 packet (1 oz.) taco seasoning
- 1 (15 oz.) can black beans -drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup shredded or chopped carrots
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion
- 3/4 cup chopped tomato
- 1/3 cup Italian dressing
- 1 cup lightly crumbled tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Once it is completely cooked through, remove any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the taco seasoning packet and any water that the seasoning packet calls for (mine called for 1/2 cup). Stir in the black beans and bring this mixture to a simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the beef mixture from the heat and stir in the salsa. Let this cool at room temperature for ten minutes.
- In the meantime, place the lettuce, carrots, cheese, red onion, and tomato in a large bowl.
- Once the beef mixture has cooled for ten minutes, toss the salad with the dressing. Then, add the beef mixture to the salad. Mix well.
- Top with crushed tortilla chips. Serve immediately.
