Servings:

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 6 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup bottled oil and vinegar dressing
  • 3/4 cup grape tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1 cup shredded Tex-Mex cheese blend
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Corn chips, like Fritos
  • 3/4 cup sour cream, for serving
  • 3/4 cup salsa, for serving
  • 1/2 cup guacamole, for serving (optional)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, onion powder, cumin, garlic powder,  paprika and pepper together and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is cooked through using a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks.

After the beef has browned, add the spice mixture and stir for 1 minute to coat the beef.

Then add the 1/2 cup water and stir while the water evaporates, season with salt if desired.

Once the beef is done, allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Prepare the salads by dividing the lettuce between four plates and drizzle with salad dressing.

Spoon the beef over the lettuce, top with cheese, add a dollop of sour cream and salsa to each plate and guacamole if using.

Divide the tomatoes between the plates, garnish with some slices of avocado and a handful of corn chips and serve.

Enjoy!
