We are a Mexican fiesta loving family and I’m always looking for delicious new recipes and things to make for Taco Tuesday. I’ve made taco salads before but I’ve never made a 7 layer taco salad. This ended up being one of our favorite recipes ever. I cannot wait to make it again!
Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
2 pkts taco seasoning
2 cups romaine lettuce
1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
1 bag tortilla chips, crushed
1 can fire-roasted corn, drained
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup pico de gallo
For dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
4 Tbsp lime juice
Directions:
1. Cook ground beef and drain.
2. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water; simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Mix dressing ingredients together and set aside.
4. Combine corn, black beans, and pico de gallo together in bowl.
5. On individual plates assemble the 7 layers: crushed tortilla chips, taco meat, romaine lettuce, corn mixture, cheese, tomatoes, and top with the dressing.
6. Serve immediately.
7. Refrigerate any leftovers (but you probably won’t have any)
We had no leftovers at all! The kids ate every single bite. I went back for seconds as a midnight snack but there was nothing left! Dang kids.
