Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Start by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lean ground beef. Use a spatula to break it apart while cooking. As it browns, mix in the smoked paprika and taco seasoning. If you’re using black beans, add them to the skillet once the beef is fully cooked. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Prep the Veggies
While the beef is cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, tomatoes, and any other veggies you’d like to add. Ensure everything is bite-sized for easy assembly. I love adding fresh cilantro for an extra punch of flavor, but feel free to customize.
Step 3: Assemble the Salad
In a large bowl, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a bed of lettuce as your base. Next, top it with the seasoned beef mixture, followed by diced tomatoes, crushed tortilla chips, avocado, and shredded cheese. Finally, finish it off with a generous dollop of Greek yogurt and fresh salsa.
