Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 can black beans (15 oz can, drained and rinsed)

• 1 head romaine lettuce (chopped)
• 1 avocado (medium, diced)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef, chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, breaking meat into crumbles, until browned and cooked through to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until combined.
3. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, drained black beans, drained sweet corn, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.
4. Pour the lime dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat.
5. Divide the tossed salad among four serving bowls and top each evenly with the warm seasoned ground beef.
