Taco salad is everything you love about tacos in salad form — seasoned ground beef, crisp iceberg lettuce, black beans, corn, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream, all served in a crunchy tortilla bowl.

Make crispy tortilla bowls by draping flour tortillas over an inverted oven-safe bowl and baking.

The seasoned beef and cool, crunchy toppings create an addictive contrast.
