Description

The compromise: cheese and ground beef but on a salad, so it’s healthy!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE GROUND BEEF:
  • Olive Oil, As Needed
  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef
  • 2 teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Hot Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • ½ cups Prepared Salsa
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • ½ whole Lime, Juiced, Plus The Other Half If You'd Like
  • FOR THE SALAD:
  • Torn Lettuce Leaves
  • Diced Tomato
  • Sliced Green Onion
  • Sliced Radishes
  • Cilantro Leaves
  • Lime Wedges
  • Grated Cheese
  • Pickled Jalapeños

Preparation

Prepare the ground beef. In a skillet over medium-high heat, drizzle some olive oil and add the beef with all the spices. Cook the beef for 7–10 minutes, breaking it up as you go, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Taste, and add more of any of the spices if you’d like.

Make the dressing. Combine sour cream, salsa, and lime juice in a bowl until smooth. Taste, and add a pinch of salt or the rest of the lime juice if you’d like.

Layer all the veggies and cheese on wide salad plates. Top evenly with the ground beef and drizzle with the dressing. Squirt with lime juice and add pickled jalapenos on top of the salad if you’d like. Enjoy!
