Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat and add ground beef.

Add water and taco seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened.

Remove from heat and allow ground beef to cool for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of your taco salad.

Combine chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, diced red onion, cheddar cheese, cilantro, and jalapenos (if using) in a large bowl.

Add (cooled) ground beef and toss ingredients together until well-combined. Meanwhile, prepare dressing.

Dressing

Combine sour cream, salsa, and 1 ½ Tablespoons taco seasoning in a bowl and whisk until well-combined.

Pour dressing over salad ingredients and toss until well-combined.

Serve, topped with crushed corn chips if desired. If not serving immediately, cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
