Mexi-Salad with Fresh Guacamole




Taco Salad:
  • 2 lbs. Organic, grass-fed ground beef (fresh, frozen or thawed)
  • 2-3 large Organic Tomatoes - Diced
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 1 head of Fresh, crisp Romaine Lettuce, Chopped
  • 1 yellow, green and red pepper - Diced
  • Organic Salsa (Recipe Below)
Guacamole:
  • 4 fresh avocado, pitted and mashed
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 limes, squeezed for juice (squeeze them like you are deadlifting!!)
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste
  • fresh cilantro (chopped), to taste
Instructions:
  • Prepare guacamole ahead of time, and chill while you make the salad. Mash the avocado in a glass to the desired consistency. Pour the lime juice over right away to prevent browning. Use Wooden spoon to mix all other ingredients
  • ** Lime Juice in this recipe is reactive with metal, so avoid metal mixing bowls and spoons.
  • Start to brown the ground beef. Add tomatoes and spices and simmer until its no longer pink. Drop a pile of chopped romaine onto a plate, top with ground beef, sprinkle with diced peppers and cover with fresh Salsa. Spoon a hearty helping of guacamole on the side.
  • We'd also like this topped with black olives, onions or chives, or any other fresh vegetables you can think of.
  • You can also use baby spinach as your salad base
