    Title: Taco Salad
    Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Herbs, Fruits, Cheese
    Yield: 4 servings

    2 tb Neutral oil
    1 lb Ground beef
    Salt
    1 md Yellow onion; fine chopped
    2 ts Ground cumin
    2 ts Dried oregano
    1 1/2 ts Chilli spice mix
    3 cl Garlic; fine chopped
    15 1/2 oz Can pinto beans; drained,
    1/2 c Bean liquid reserved
    Fritos corn chips; as
    - desired
    4 oz Coarse grated Colby or
    - Cheddar cheese; more for
    - serving
    1 sm Head iceberg lettuce;
    - shredded
    1 lg Beefsteak tomato; chopped
    1 Avocado; pitted, peeled,
    - chopped
    2 Limes; in wedges
    1/2 c Sour cream
    Hot sauce; to serve

    In a large cast-iron or stainless skillet over
    medium-high, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the
    beef and press it into one even layer. Sprinkle evenly
    with salt and onion, and cook, undisturbed, until the
    beef is deeply browned on the bottom and still slightly
    pink on top, and the onions have wilted, 5 to 7 minutes.
    If there is an excess of fat in the pan at this point,
    tip the skillet and use a spoon to discard it.

    Sprinkle over the cumin, oregano, chili powder and
    garlic. Using a wooden spoon, break the meat into small
    crumbles and stir. Cook, stirring frequently, until the
    spices are aromatic and the meat has cooked through,
    about 2 minutes.

    Add the beans and reserved bean liquid, and use the
    spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until mostly
    reduced, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, taste and
    add more salt if needed.

    Arrange some corn chips evenly across the bottom of four
    serving plates. Evenly divide the meat mixture, cheese,
    lettuce, tomato and avocado on top of the chips. Squeeze
    lime juice over the top and lightly sprinkle with salt.
    Top each salad with a handful of crushed corn chips, a
    big dollop of sour cream, and extra cheese. Serve right
    away with hot sauce alongside.
