Ingredients

For the Meat:

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water

For the Salad:

  • 1 head lettuce of choice, chopped
  • 1 cup guacamole
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges to serve

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart until it starts to brown. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water, then continue cooking for another 3 minutes, ensuring the beef is fully browned and seasoned.
  2. Prepare the Salad Base: While the beef is cooking, chop your lettuce of choice and divide it evenly into four large bowls to create the base of your taco bowls.
  3. Assemble Taco Bowls: Top the lettuce in each bowl with the cooked ground beef, followed by guacamole, diced tomatoes, salsa, and a sprinkle of Mexican cheese blend according to your preference.
  4. Make the Creamy Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the creamy dressing over each bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Optionally, add your favorite toppings such as tortilla strips, hot sauce, black olives, or pickled jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use 90% lean ground beef to reduce fat but keep flavor and moisture.
  • Feel free to swap lettuce types between romaine, iceberg, or even mixed greens.
  • For extra crunch, add crushed tortilla chips just before serving.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream and cheese with vegan alternatives.
  • Adjust taco seasoning or add fresh jalapeños for spicier bowls.
