Ingredients

Taco Salad

  • 1 cup corn about 2 cobs of corn
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 cup black beans drain and rinsed
  • 1 cup tortilla chips crushed
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion diced
  • 1/2 bunch romaine lettuce chopped

Ground Beef

  • 1 pound lean ground beef 93/7
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 lime zested and juiced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • To start, prepare the ground beef first. I prefer lean ground beef to keep the fat content down. In a skillet on medium high heat add a little oil and toss in the ground beef. When the ground beef is almost finish spread a little room and add the tomato paste directly to the pan.
  • Then, toss in all the seasonings and add beef broth or simply add water. This will form a sauce with the beef. Lower the heat to medium low and allow this to simmer for 3 minutes or so for the flavors to work together. Taste for salt.
  • While taco beef is cooling down prep all the ingredients. The ingredients like the tomatoes, corn, red onion and crushed chips where measured after they were cut.
  • In a small bowl, add sour cream and the juice from two limes. But, zest one lime into the bowl before cutting. Mix well. The dressing isn't special by itself but it brings all the flavors together when added to the salad.
  • Toss all the ingredients into a large bowl or salad bowl and give everything an even toss. Serve.
