This is a quick-to-throw-together taco salad that even picky family members will eat, as you can serve any of the ingredients on the side. I sometimes serve with taco shells and let my five-year-old make tacos out of the ingredients (minus the dressing for the salad). Serve salad with tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, and Cheddar cheese to taste. Yum!

Ingredients

  • lean ground beef: 1 pound
  • water: 0.75 cup
  • packet taco seasoning mix: 1 piece (1 ounce)
  • head romaine lettuce: 1 piece (chopped)
  • kidney beans: 1 can (15 ounce can, drained)
  • basket grape tomatoes: 1 piece (10 ounce, chopped)
  • avocado, pitted and: 1 piece (sliced)
