How to Make Baked Taco Bowl Salad

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray one side of each tortilla with no-stick cooking spray. Lightly sprinkle with salt.
Place the oiled side of each tortilla over a 7x3-inch ovenproof mixing bowl (or similar sized bowl).
Place a 6-ounce custard cup upside-down in the center of each tortilla.
Gently press the custard cup and tortilla into the bowl to form the bowl shape.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
Once cool, carefully remove the custard cups and invert the tortilla bowls.
Let cool completely.
In a 12-inch skillet, brown 1 lb of ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess fat.
Stir in 1 packet (approximately 1 ounce) of Lawry's Taco Seasoning (or your preferred taco seasoning) and 1/2 cup of water. Cook according to package directions.
To assemble: Place 1 1/2 cups of shredded lettuce in each tortilla bowl.
Top with 3/4 cup of the warm seasoned ground beef mixture.
Sprinkle with your desired toppings: shredded cheese (1/2 cup per bowl), diced tomatoes (1/4 cup per bowl), chopped green onions (2 tablespoons per bowl), and sliced olives (1 tablespoon per bowl).
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side.
