Preparing the Perfect Dressing
The secret to Cowboy Kent’s taco salad lies in the zesty dressing that ties all the flavors together. In a bowl, mix sour cream, salsa, lime juice, and chopped cilantro until smooth and creamy. Adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences, adding more lime for tanginess or cilantro for freshness. This dressing adds a burst of flavor that elevates the taco salad to new heights.
Cooking up Cowboy Kent’s Magic
Start by browning the ground beef or turkey in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until cooked through.
