  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning

Sour Cream Mixture:

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • Juice of 1 lime

Salad Layers:

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and chopped
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 (15 oz) can corn, drained

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the taco seasoning until no longer pink. Transfer to refrigerator to chill until cold.
  2. Prepare Sour Cream Mixture: Stir together sour cream, salsa, and lime juice. Set aside.
