Layer Taco Salad

by

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Season: Add the taco seasoning mix and the amount of water specified on the seasoning packet. Stir to combine and simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Salad Layers

  1. Layer the Lettuce: In a large, clear serving bowl or a trifle dish, start by adding a layer of chopped romaine lettuce at the bottom.
  2. Add Ground Beef: Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly over the lettuce layer.
  3. Black Beans: Add a layer of drained and rinsed black beans.
  4. Corn: Next, add a layer of corn kernels.
  5. Tomatoes: Add a layer of halved cherry tomatoes.
  6. Onion: Sprinkle a layer of finely chopped red onion.
  7. Olives: Add a layer of sliced black olives.
  8. Cheese: Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on top.
  9. Salsa: Spread a layer of salsa over the cheese.
  10. Sour Cream: Add a layer of sour cream.
  11. Guacamole: Spread a layer of guacamole on top of the sour cream.
  12. Tortilla Chips: Just before serving, sprinkle a layer of crushed tortilla chips on top for added crunch.
  13. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Chill (Optional): If you prefer, you can chill the salad for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
  2. Serve: Serve the layered taco salad with additional tortilla chips, salsa, and sour cream on the side.

Tips for Perfect Layered Taco Salad:

  • Customizable Layers: Feel free to customize the layers according to your preference. Add or omit ingredients as you like.
  • Vegetarian Option: For a vegetarian version, skip the ground beef and add more beans or a layer of cooked quinoa.
  • Serve Fresh: Add the tortilla chips just before serving to ensure they stay crispy.
  • Portion Control: If making for individual servings, layer the ingredients in mason jars or individual bowls for a fun presentation.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the salad for a zesty kick.

Enjoy this vibrant and delicious layered taco salad that brings all your favorite taco flavors into one delightful dish!
