Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded

Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in chipotle chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spices are fragrant and beef is fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from heat and set the beef mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a large salad bowl, assemble the salad by adding shredded romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Add the chipotle-seasoned beef on top of the salad mixture.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the salad.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with lime wedges and sliced jalapeno, if using.
Toss the salad gently to combine the ingredients and squeeze lime juice on top just before serving for a burst of freshness.
