Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the pan and break it up with a spoon. Add the salt, pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder and cook, stirring occasionally until the beef is browned, about 5-6 minutes.Pro Tip: Instead of using these seasonings, use 1/2 teaspoon of taco seasoning instead.
Transfer the ground beef to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Place the lettuce in a bowl and top with cooked beef, tomatoes, beans, avocado, cheese, chopped onions, salsa, and sour cream.
Notes
Prep your ingredients: To help make the most of your time, I recommend chopping and prepping the toppings while the ground beef is browning.
If you'd like to make this salad in advance, you can! A taco salad is great for meal prep. Keep the cooked ground beef in a separate container and warm it up right before serving your salad.
Customize: This salad recipe is very versatile. You can add more or less of the ingredients called for in this recipe or use your favorite vegetables instead.
