Taco salad is an easy, healthy salad recipe perfect for summer! It's loaded with crisp vegetables, seasoned ground beef, and taco classics such as homemade salsa, cilantro and avocado. Enjoy classic Mexican flavors in a lighter, veggie-heavy meal.
So what goes into a taco salad? Today I'm using romaine lettuce, black beans, tomatoes, ground beef (with my homemade taco seasoning), red onion, cheddar cheese, and avocado. It's then topped with homemade salsa (the best!), sour cream, lime juice and cilantro.
But it's completely customizable to your dietary preferences! While this taco salad recipe is naturally gluten-free, I have tips for making it paleo, keto, low-carb, dairy-free and vegan on the recipe blog post below. It's a healthier spin on tacos, so have fun with it!

Taco Salad Recipe | Homemade Tortilla Chips and Sour Cream Lime Dressing
Today I made a healthy and easy taco salad with homemade tortilla chips and sour cream lime dressing. Who likes tacos? Try this healthy, full of vegetables and protein taco salad!
This easy taco salad recipe is very simple but so delicious! In this healthy taco salad I used lettuce, grape tomatoes, corn, black beans, red onion. I used feta cheese for this recipe because we like feta in our family. You can use any cheese you like. I used lean ground beef in this taco salad to make it more healthy!
Tortilla chips are so easy to make. I used flour tortillas but you can use corn ones. Spray tortillas with olive oil, add salt and bake in oven. These tortilla chips are baked instead of deep frying.
For the dressing I used sour cream, lime juice and zest. The dressing is zesty, flavorful and so delicious!
This taco salad serves about 6 people. It can be a whole meal because it contains meat. I made this taco salad in a large bowl, mixed the ingredients and then served in separate bowls!

INSTRUCTIONS

Taco Salad ???????? with Cumin Ranch dressing #delicious #foodshorts #food #cooking #shorts #tacos
to make the Cumin Ranch -
at about a half a teaspoon to a tablespoon of cumin to a bowl and then add in as much hidden valley Ranch as you like.
I had leftover taco meat so it made it really easy for me to put this together...
All I had to fry with some leftover shells for a little bit of a crunch and I added on some sour cream and onions cheese and topped it off with a hint of spice ????
