This super delicious, easy Taco Salad recipe is perfect for Taco Tuesday, or when it’s really hot outside and you just don’t feel like heating up your kitchen. It’s tasty and filling and is complimented by a creamy sour cream and chile dressing that adds just the right amount of spice. It’s all the deliciousness of tacos – with ground beef, black beans, avocados, & cheddar cheese – and is certain to be a hit with your family. Here’s my easy recipe for Taco Salad:
Taco Salad
1 lb. ground beef (cooked however you like your taco meat prepared. I add cumin, garlic powder, chile powder, and salt to mine)
1 16-ounce can black beans, rinsed & drained (I only use half a can in my salad, but put as much or as little as you like)
1 head romaine lettuce, cut in bite-size pieces
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
tortilla chips of your liking for garnish
(Because this is all about how you like it, these are only suggested amounts.)
For the Creamy Sour Cream & Chile Dressing:
sour Cream
mayonnaise
chile powder
Mix together 2 parts sour cream to 1 part mayonnaise..and add in about 1 – 2 teaspoons chile powder. Mix well. Should turn into a light pink color.
You can substitute low fat cheese and sour cream and leave out the tortilla chips, if you are trying to eat a little healthier. But, this salad is so delicious, it’s worth splurging on. Besides, anyone who is eating a Taco Salad on a Taco Tuesday, is already doing better than most!
