Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

    Add ground beef and break it up with a spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in taco seasoning and 2 tbsp water. Simmer until the mixture is fragrant and coats the beef, ~1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Divide romaine between two bowls. Top with warm beef, tortilla chips, cheese, salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze lime wedge over the top. Serve immediately.
