What are we cooking today?
This colourful dish is easy to prepare and full of goodness. With the lettuce playing the role of the traditional taco's we're all familiar with, it is easiest eaten with a knife and fork rather than fingers!
Getting started
- Heat a pan on medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the coconut oil has melted add the ground beef.
While the meat is cooking prepare the salad by washing and chopping the lettuce.
Once the meat is cooked through add in the seasoning and mix well.
Assemble the salad by placing the lettuce at the bottom followed by the beef, avocado, salsa, sour cream and the cheese.
Annabelle's tip
For a bit of kick, I like to add 1/2 a chopped fresh red chilli, either to my seasoning or sprinkled on the top at after serving.
