- Remove from heat and drain off any grease. Set aside.
- Place the spring mix lettuce on the bottom of each bowl. Then divided the ground beef among the 4 bowls. Add the corn and black beans on either side. Sprinkle the fresh cilantro and red onion on cop of the ground beef. Place the chopped avocado to the side. Finish off your salad with the crumbled Tortilla chips! Place a bowl of the dressing on the table so everyone can take the amount they enjoy!
- **I made individual bowls, but you can certainly create one big bowl and everyone digs in!
