Taco Salad

Growing up this was one of my brothers all time favorite dinners! I remember how excited he got when he saw the extra large stainless still bowl of salad on the table. I know what your thinking: excited about salad? Something about all the toppings and Mexican flavors made it a family favorite for me and my siblings and now it's one of my kids favorites. I've enjoyed watching my kids get excited about salad, just like I did as a kid.

 Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp avocado oil
  • 2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 8 oz romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 cup tomatoes, chopped 
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 
  • 1 medium avocado, cubed
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 cups tortillas chips or strips (optional)

  2. Stir taco seasoning into beef util well combined. 
  3. In large bowl combine all remaining ingredients. Add ground beef and toss together.
