(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 2 hearts romaine, chopped
  • 2 vine-ripened tomatoes, chopped
  • 3/4 cup frozen fire-roasted corn, thawed
  • 1 cup pico de gallo, undrained
  • 3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 cup tortilla strips

Directions

  1. Toss the lettuce, tomatoes, corn, 3/4 cup pico de gallo, and the vinegar in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates or shallow bowls.

  2. Shape the ground beef into four patties and season both sides with the taco seasoning and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until well browned, 4-6 minutes.

  3. Top each salad with 1 beef patty. Drizzle any juices from the skillet over the patties. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup pico de gallo and dollop with the sour cream. Sprinkle with the cheese and tortilla strips.
