Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef extra lean
- 1 teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 red onion chopped, medium
- 1/2 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend
- 1 avocado chopped
- 1 cup tomato halved, little (grape, cherry, etc
- romaine lettuce torn into bite-size pieces, small head
Dressing:
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce see note
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, beef, and spices to a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, using a spoon to break the meat up into smaller pieces (and stir often), for around 7 minutes or until it's cooked through.
- Meanwhile, prep your other salad ingredients and add them to a large salad bowl.
- Add the dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk them together.
- Once the ground beef is cooked, sprinkle it over the salad. Add dressing and toss. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adobo sauce is the sauce that's in those little cans of chipotle chilis with adobo sauce (find these in the Mexican aisle at the grocery store). The dressing was semi-spicy when I used 1 tbsp of the sauce. It gives the dressing a wonderful smoky flavor. Add more if you want it hotter. Chop up a pepper or two if you want it really spicy!
- If you don't want to use the individual spices like I did, you can use pre-made taco seasoning if you prefer.
