Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
2 whole Romaine hearts (340 grams), chopped
1 whole avocado, cubed
4 ounce cheddar cheese, cubed
3 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoon sliced red onion (½ ounce)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (or 2 tablespoon of Homemade Taco Seasoning)
salt and pepper to taste

Mexican Viniagrette

½ batch Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette (sub sugar-free sweetener to taste, for the honey)

Optional Ingredients:

salsa
sour cream

Instructions

Preparation:

Make vinaigrette per instructions. Chop and prepare vegetables and cheese.

Method:

Place the ground beef in a cold pan over medium heat. Work the ground beef in the pan to break up in to tiny crumbles, about 7 minutes. Add the cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Alternately, use 2 tablespoon of my homemade taco seasoning. Let cool slightly.
Place all of the ingredients into a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Top with a dollop of sour cream and salsa if desired (don't forget to count the carbs). Serves 4.
