Taco Salad Bowls

Print Recipe

A vibrant Taco Salad Bowl filled with fresh vegetables, proteins, and a burst of flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup tortilla strips
  • Homemade salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro lime dressing
  • Guacamole

Instructions

  1. Cook the Proteins: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks, allowing it to brown evenly for about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. While the beef is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill the chicken until cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Assemble the Base: Grab a large serving bowl or individual salad bowls; start by layering the romaine lettuce at the bottom.
  3. Add the Goodies: Next, add the cooked ground beef and sliced chicken over the lettuce.
  4. Layer it Up: Add the black beans, cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and avocado slices on top.
  5. Top it Off: Drizzle your tortilla strips all around the bowl, finish with a dollop of sour cream, generous spoonfuls of guacamole, and a drizzle of cilantro lime dressing.
  6. Dig In: Toss the salad gently to combine all those delicious flavors before serving.

Notes

Taco Salad is very forgiving; use whatever veggies, proteins, or dressings you have at home. Feel free to customize the toppings based on personal preference.
