Ingredients
- MEAT:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 package Taco seasoning mix
- water (per Taco seasoning instructions)
- DRESSING:
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lime
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- SALAD:
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- tortilla chips
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- sour cream (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
1. To make the tomato dressing, in a medium bowl, combine diced tomatoes (with their juices), oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Stir well then set aside.
2. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink.
3. Add the garlic and beans and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the Taco seasoning and water and stir. Once the seasoning is absorbed into the meat, lower heat to simmer.
4. Place 2 cups of lettuce on a plate. Sprinkle on diced onions, then top each serving with 1 cup of the beef mixture. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cheese on top of the meat.
5. Right before eating, pour a portion of the tomato mixture, with the liquid, on top of each salad. Optionally, crushed tortilla chips may be sprinkled over the entire salad. Finally, top the salad with a dollop of sour cream.
