Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 teaspoons taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 6 cups romaine lettuce chopped
- ½ cup tomatoes diced
- 1 avocado diced
- ½ cup red onion sliced
- Sour cream for garnish
- Shredded cheese optional
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Brown the beef in a large nonstick pan set over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink. Add the taco seasoning and water, cooking for another 4-5 minutes, until the liquid has mostly evaporated. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Divide the lettuce between 4 salad bowls, then top evenly with taco beef, tomato, avocado, and onions. Garnish with sour cream, shredded cheese, and hot sauce, if desired, and serve.
Notes
While browning the beef, if there's a substantial amount of oil released during cooking, consider draining it before adding the taco seasoning.
Make your own keto taco seasoning blend by mixing together 5 teaspoons paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, and 1 ¼ teaspoon of each of the following: garlic powder, ground cumin, onion powder, and salt. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
Opt for the freshest ingredients, as well as good quality meat and cheese for the best final product.
Store the ingredients separately for meal prep or leftovers to maintain the integrity of the texture and flavor.
This dish can be doubled or tripled.
