Ingredients
  

  • Taco Meat:
  • 1 pound ground beef grass fed if possible
  • 1 medium red onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Salad:
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 1/8 cup red onion chopped
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/4 cup salsa or pico de gallo with Whole30 approved ingredients
  • 1 cup fresh salad greens

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a saute pan over medium heat. Add in most of the diced onion, reserving enough for the salad, and add the minced garlic.
  2. Once the ground beef is browned, drain any excess grease and add about 1/4 cup water along with the cumin, cayenne, chili powder, and sea salt.
  3. Remove from heat and serve up as part of tacos or a taco salad. This would also be wonderful in lettuce wraps!
  4. To make your salad layer in the fresh greens and tip with the taco seasoned beef, salsa or pico de gallo, onion, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers or your favorite veggies.
  5. I promise you won't even miss the salad dressing! The salsa or pico de gallo really hit the spot on this salad!
