taco salad
Edible bowl meal
Taco salad is a Tex-Mex dish combining salad greens with seasoned ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, beans, and other taco fillings, often served in or with a fried tortilla shell.
The dressing is typically salsa, ranch, or a creamy chipotle.
Despite the name, the cheese and meat make it closer to a taco than a salad: I ordered a taco salad and pretended it was healthy.
