Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1/2 red onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

For the creamy cilantro-lime dressing:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch of lime zest, optional but recommended

Method

  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add in ground beef and a big pinch of salt.
  • Cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Then, add in taco seasoning and water, reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce has thickened.
  • While beef cooks, make the cilantro-lime dressing by adding all ingredients to a bowl and whisking together until smooth.
  • Assemble salad with all ingredients, then top with seasoned ground beef and creamy cilantro-lime dressing.
