Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (low carb or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 Avocado, diced
- 1 quarter cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula.
Cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in taco seasoning and water, mixing well until the beef is evenly coated. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
While the beef cools, prepare the salad base by adding romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber to a large mixing bowl.
Top the salad with shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and the seasoned ground beef.
In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Divide the salad into four bowls or plates and serve immediately.
