Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 packet taco seasoning
4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup corn, drained
1 avocado, diced
1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 lime, juiced
Sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping (optional)

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground turkey. Cook until the turkey is browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
Once browned, sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey, mixing well to ensure even coating. Add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to help the seasoning mix, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the water evaporates and the turkey is fully cooked.
While the turkey cooks, prepare the salad base. In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, corn, avocado, black beans, and cheddar cheese.
Once the turkey is ready, allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the salad bowl. Toss everything together gently to combine.
Finish the salad by adding chopped cilantro and squeezing fresh lime juice over the top. For those who enjoy an extra creaminess, dollop some sour cream or Greek yogurt on top before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful, zesty twist on taco night!
