Perfect for hectic weeknights, this easy taco salad recipe is something both kids and adults will love. The beauty of taco salad is that it’s entirely customizable to your favorite taco components, so feel free to stray from the recipe to accommodate whatever you’re craving and/or the ingredients you already have on hand. For example, you can easily swap in some diced avocado for the prepared guacamole. Pro-tip: Allowing the ground beef to sear before crumbling helps it to brown nicely without steaming.

  • Meanwhile, whisk together lime juice, honey, garlic, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Slowly stream in remaining 1/2 cup oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified; set aside.

  • Combine romaine, tortilla strips, cheese, beans, corn, tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing, and toss to combine. Top with dollops of guacamole and sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
