Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Taco Salad

1 lb Grass Fed Ground Beef
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion (diced)
3 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Chili Powder, Cumin, Garlic, Onion, Salt, and Pepper
4 Almond Flour Tortillas
1/4 cup Avocado Oil
1 head Iceburg Lettuce
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 cup Red Onion
1 cup Corn
1 cup Black Beans
1/4 cup Mexican Cheese
Green Onions

Honey Lime Vinaigrette

2 Limes (for the juice)
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 cup Honey
1 tsp Salt, Garlic, Oregano

Instructions

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the ground beef. Cook until browned and all excess moisture evaporates. Stir in the olive oil, diced onion, and garlic, sautéing for 3–4 minutes. Mix in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, adding a splash of water if necessary to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
Slice the tortillas into thin strips. Heat avocado oil in a clean skillet over medium heat until hot. Fry the tortilla strips for 2–4 minutes, flipping occasionally with tongs until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, corn, black beans, cheese, and green onions. Add the cooked ground beef and crispy tortilla strips on top.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
