Step 1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add ground beef and cook, breaking apart with a spoon, until browned and no pink remains, 5–6 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef. Add 3 tbsp water and stir until the sauce coats the meat, 1 minute.
Step 4
Transfer seasoned beef to a plate. Let cool slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Divide romaine between two bowls. Top each with half the beef, cheese, and tomatoes.
Step 6
Whisk sour cream with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Drizzle over each salad and serve immediately.
