Tasty Taco Salad

Perhaps its the San Diego influence, or I just really love Mexican food, but this home-made taco salad is very tasty...and super quick to whip up.

Directions:

Wash all veggies and lettuce. Prep by chopping the lettuce into bite size pieces as well as the pepper, tomato, cucumber, avocado, onion, and jalapenos.

Cook the beef and add a small amount of water and taco powder after meat is browned. Once beef is cooked through add chopped onions and jalapenos, as well as the frozen corn, and black beans to the pan. Cover to allow flavours to infuse. Stir beef mixture and allow to simmer.

In a bowl place a bed of lettuce, then sprinkle the raw veggies over the dish. Add the beef mixture, then the cheese, a dollop of salsa & sour cream....and finally top with some chopped cilantro!
