Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the diced red bell pepper and the paleo-friendly taco seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Add the diced zucchini to the skillet, stirring occasionally, for another 4-5 minutes until the zucchini is tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and mix in the chopped tomatoes and salsa, combining all the ingredients well.
In a separate bowl, combine the diced avocado, lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to make fresh guacamole.
To assemble the naked burrito, place a handful of shredded romaine lettuce on each plate.
Spoon the beef and vegetable mixture over the lettuce.
Top each serving with a generous dollop of the guacamole.
Optionally, garnish with additional fresh cilantro and a slice of lime.
Serve immediately and enjoy your paleo naked burrito!
