Assembling Your Taco Salad Masterpiece
Once the meat is seasoned to perfection, it’s time to assemble your taco salad. In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, black beans, and corn kernels. Toss gently to mix everything together. Then, add the seasoned meat on top, followed by a generous sprinkling of cheese. Crush a handful of tortilla chips over the salad to add crunch and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Cowboy Kent Rollins recommends serving his taco salad with a side of warm flour tortillas or cornbread for a complete meal. You can also top it with extra salsa, guacamole, or jalapeños for added flavor. Pair it with a refreshing glass of iced tea or a cold beer to complement the spicy kick of the salad.
Flavorful Variations
Feel free to get creative with Cowboy Kent’s taco salad recipe! You can swap out the ground beef for shredded chicken or grilled shrimp for a lighter twist. Add your favorite vegetables or experiment with different cheese blends to customize the flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and load up on beans and roasted vegetables instead.
