How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 8 ounces ground beef or 93% lean turkey (vegetarian, Note 1)
- 4 handfuls iceberg or romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup tortilla chip pieces
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- shredded mexican cheese, to taste (dairy or non-dairy)
- sour cream, to taste (dairy or non-dairy)
- lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the ground beef in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the excess liquid and put back in the pan.
- Step 2: Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer on medium heat until the liquid has cooked off, about 2 more minutes.
- Step 3: Assemble the salads by dividing the lettuce into bowls. Top with the warm beef, tortilla pieces, guacamole, salsa, optional cheese, and optional sour cream.
- Serve: Enjoy with lime squeezed on top. The combination of guacamole and salsa makes a creamy sauce for the salad once mixed in.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: This is also delicious using cooked Mushroom Walnut Taco Meat or Tofu Taco Meat. If using these options, skip directly to Step 3.
