Full of bold flavors and fresh ingredients while keeping carbs low. It’s perfect for anyone following a keto lifestyle or just looking for a satisfying, healthy meal. Plus, it comes together quickly, making it great for busy weeknights.
Directions
Warm a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the ground beef and cook it, breaking it up with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly—this usually takes about 7 minutes. Next, sprinkle in the taco seasoning and let it cook for a couple more minutes so all those flavors come together. While the beef is cooking, divide the lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, and green onions between two bowls. Once the beef is ready, spoon it over the veggies. Finish things off by adding some salsa, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. Enjoy!
