Ingredients

  • 300g extra lean organic grass-fed beef
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 4 cups mixed greens lettuce
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup pinto beans or black beans
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup dairy-free cheese
  • 4 small corn tortilla shells
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons dairy-free sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Juice from 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a small pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cut tortilla shells into triangles, place on the pan, and sprinkle with salt and a little taco seasoning.
  3. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp and lightly browned. Remove and cool.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef, breaking it apart, for about 7 minutes until browned.
  5. Transfer beef to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain, then return it to the pan.
  6. Add taco seasoning and corn, and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  7. Divide lettuce, tomatoes, beans, onion, avocado, dairy-free cheese, and tortilla chips between two bowls.
  8. Top with the beef and corn mixture.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together salsa, sour cream, olive oil, honey, and lime juice until smooth.
  10. Drizzle dressing over salads and serve with lime halves.

Notes

  • Swap beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • Use store-bought tortilla chips if short on time.
  • Add jalapenos for extra heat.
  • Store components separately for best freshness.
