Ground Beef Taco Salad
Taco salad was a common dinner at our house growing up. It is such a quick dinner to throw together and it can easily feed a crowd. It’s like a giant taco in a bowl. We love using ground beef with our taco salad because it only takes minutes to cook but it can also be made with chicken or shredded beef. Try this recipe with our homemade taco seasoning mix for a great alternative to store-bought seasoning. Ground beef is a staple for many easy, budget-friendly meals.

Don’t Forget The Toppings!
The possibilities are endless when it comes to taco salad toppings. Here are some of our favorites: It’s easy to sneak in some added vegetables and nutrients without sacrificing taste or texture. We like adding some shredded zucchini or carrots. You won’t even be able to tell they are there!
Taco Salad Dressing
Ask three different people what their favorite taco salad dressing is and you will likely get three different answers. Currently, we love using cilantro-lime ranch dressing or no dressing at all (it’s great with just salsa and sour cream). Growing up, my husband’s family always used thousand island dressing over their taco salad. When we were growing up, the topping of choice in our family was (do I dare admit this?) ketchup. Here are some more popular dressings to use (feel free to add your favorite dressing in the comments below):
