Best Taco Salad Recipe

This Fiesta Taco Salad is perfect for your at-home fiesta! All of the amounts in this recipe can be adjusted to fit the size of the group you’re serving.

Our favorite toppings include bell peppers, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, shredded cheese, cilantro, and tortilla strips! But you can top yours with your favorite toppings too!

I often set up a taco salad bar, and let everyone build their own salad using their favorite toppings and condiments.

What You’ll Need

1 cup romaine lettuce
1/2 cup cooked ground beef
3 Tablespoons black beans
1/2 cup diced bell peppers
1/4 avocado, sliced
2-3 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 Tablespoon shredded cheese
2 Tablespoons tortilla strips
A few cilantro sprigs
Homemade Cilantro Tomatillo Dressing

Taco Salad Dressing Recipe

The most delicious creamy cilantro tomatillo salad dressing! Made with greek yogurt, tomatillos, cilantro, fresh lime, jalapeno, and green onion.

This recipe is comparable to the house dressings you find at Cafe Rio and Costa Vida but my homemade version, which I think tastes even better!
