Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 0.5 large red onion
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-compliant taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large lime
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the red onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the Whole30-compliant taco seasoning and mix well. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the beef mixture is cooking, prepare the salad base. Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Halve the grape tomatoes and dice the avocado. Chop the cilantro finely. Cut the lime into wedges.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, and diced avocado.
Add the cooked beef mixture on top of the salad base.
Sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the salad.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salad for a zesty flavor. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients. Serve immediately for a fresh and healthy meal.
