Easy Taco Salad Recipe
A taco salad is a deconstructed taco served in a bowl. If you want to re-create a Mexican restaurant experience, serve this salad in a crispy Tortilla Taco Salad Shell for a fun twist. If you're making the Crispy Tortilla Bowls, make them first. While they bake and cool, proceed with the recipe.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown your beef. When there is no pink left on the meat and the fat is released, spoon out all of the excess fat then add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool until it’s lightly warm or room temperature.

Chop lettuce and place into serving bowls (serves 6 as a side salad or 4 as a main course). Divide ground beef between the bowls over the lettuce.

Assemble and Serve: Add remaining toppings as desired, then garnish with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream or drizzle with the taco salad dressing. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over the salad.
