In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned.
Drain excess fat, add taco seasoning with a little water (per packet instructions), and simmer 2–3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the dressing:
Mix sour cream, salsa, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Layer the salad:
In a large serving dish or bowl, layer ingredients in this order:
Shredded lettuce
Seasoned ground beef
Black beans
Corn
Tomatoes
Cheese
Olives and green onions
Top with dressing:
Drizzle the sour cream and salsa dressing over the top.
Serve:
Sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips and add avocado or jalapeños if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
You can assemble it in a trifle bowl for a visually stunning presentation.
For a lighter version, swap sour cream for Greek yogurt.
Layers can be adjusted—get creative with your favorite taco ingredients!
If you want, I can also give you a quick one-bowl version that’s perfect for busy weeknights but still has all seven layers of flavor. Do you want me to share that?
