Easy Taco Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (Our favorite is Frontera Taco Skillet Sauce for beef.)
  • black or pinto beans
  • pico de gallo
  • shredded cheddar cheese
  • crushed tortilla chips
  • taco sauce (Macayos Mexican Style Taco Sauce & Chip Dip is the best. Available locally in AZ and on Amazon.)
  • ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Season beef with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  3. Add seasoned beef and cook thoroughly, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and reduce to a simmer, cooking over low heat for at least 10 minutes or according to the instructions on the packet.
  5. Top the lettuce with beans, meat, and pico de gallo. Sprinkle with cheese and crushed tortilla chips, and dress with taco sauce and ranch.
