Taco Salad

A salad with a crunchy texture and authentic flavors that is filling enough for a main course.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup tomato, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 cup seasoned ground beef
  • 1/4 cup cheddar
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • pinch of salt
Preparation:
In a large bowl combine oil, juice and salt. Add in lettuce and toss to coat. Sprinkle crumbled tortilla strips on lettuce then top with ground beef, cheddar, tomatoes and onions. A sprinkle of crumbled cotija cheese rounds out this delicious salad.
