Taco Fiesta Salad Bowls are perfect make-ahead lunches! These vibrant and delicious salads feature taco-spiced beef, fresh lettuce, zesty cheese, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, and a generous spoonful of salsa.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Cook for about 5 more minutes or until the liquid has mostly evaporated and the meat is cooked through. Set aside to cool.
3
Assemble the salads: Divide the lettuce between four storage containers, placing it to one side.
4
Next, layer black beans, fresh corn, and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce.
5
Once the meat is completely cooled, spoon it into each container on the opposite side of the lettuce.
6
Sprinkle the grated sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of each bowl.
7
Add 1/4 cup of salsa to each container on top of the taco meat.
8
Seal each container with a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
