Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 1 (15 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained
• 1 large head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 0.25 cup water

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat and saute ground beef, diced onion, salt, and pepper together until ground beef is browned and no longer pink and onions are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and taco seasoning to the meat. Stir to coat and allow to simmer for 1 minute to thicken. Set aside to cool while you prep the salad.

Step 2

Add kidney beans, crushed chips, lettuce, tomatoes, Cheddar cheese, and dressing to a large bowl. Top with meat mixture and toss gently to evenly combine. Serve immediately.
