Ingredients
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- 1 large white onion, finely chopped (about 2 cups), divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ounce pkg taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa, divided
- 12 3.5 ounce bags Frito corn chips
- 3 cups finely shredded romaine lettuce
- 12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2-3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
- ½ cup tender cilantro stems and leaves
- ¾ cup sour cream
- Pickled jalapeños and hot sauce, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add half of the onions, the ground beef, and the salt, and use a spatula to break the beef into small pieces. Cook until the onions are soft and the beef is cooked through 5 minutes or so. If you need to, drain off any of the fat.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add the black beans, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup of salsa and cook until the beans are warm, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Prepare a large board, tray or serving area with small bowls of remaining onions, salsa, cheese, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream, and pickled jalapenos.
- Grab a chip bag and crunch the chips with your hands.
- IMPORTANT TIP HOW TO CUT THE BAGS: Use scissors to cut each bad down the side of each chip bag.
- To assemble each bag: Spoon about the beef on top of the chips, and top with lettuce, cheese, tomato, chopped onions, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a spoonful of sour cream and salsa.
- Garnish with 1-2 pickled jalapeños. Each person can make their own “taco salad” in a bag, and eats right away so the chips don’t get soggy!
