Taco Salad Bowl

A taco salad bowl is a vibrant and flavorful dish that combines seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, and classic Mexican toppings served in a crispy tortilla bowl or over a bed of greens.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for cooking meat)
  • 4 large tortilla bowls or baked tortillas shaped into bowls

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef or turkey until browned.
  2. Add taco seasoning and water. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the salad base by dividing romaine lettuce into each tortilla bowl.
  4. Top with cooked taco meat, cherry tomatoes, black beans, corn, avocado, cheddar cheese, red onion, and black olives.

  • To make it spicier, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • For a low-carb version, skip the tortilla bowl and serve over extra greens.
