Easy Taco Recipe with Ground Beef
Ingredients
Ground Beef
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 med. onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
Salad
- 1 head iceberg lettuce

Instructions
Ground Beef
- On medium heat, place ground beef into a medium sized frying pan and begin to break it up using a spatula.
- Chop up the onion and add to the meat once it's browned. Do the same with the garlic.
- Once the meat is fully cooked and the onions are translucent, add the taco seasoning and finish cooking as per package instructions.
Salad
- Chop up all your vegetables and put them into a large salad bowl.
- Add the grated cheese and dressing.
- Allow the meat to cool down to a warm temperature before adding it to the salad.
- Top with Tostitos and enjoy!
Notes
If you are not planning on eating the entire salad right away then you might want to put each vegetable into a separate container until you're ready to serve. This helps to keep everything fresher.
My favorite dressing for this is Thousand Island, but I often use plain sour cream as well.
Here is the homemade taco seasoning recipe. You can also use a pack of seasoning along with water as per instructions.
