Step 1

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Break up the meat using a large wooden spoon or a spatula. Cook for 7-9 minutes or until beef is cooked through and no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain, if needed.

Step 2

Return the skillet with beef to the stove and reduce the heat to medium. Add the taco seasoning, tomato paste, and water. Stir until sauce and seasonings are well combined with the beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, for another 2-3 minutes or until hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Prepare the Salsa Ranch: In a small bowl, stir together the salsa, sour cream, and ranch dressing. Stir until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Assemble the bowls with optional serving suggestions.

Step 5

Leftovers may be stored in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
