Instructions

Step 1

In a pan over medium-high heat, brown the beef. Break the meat into very small pieces with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess drippings, but keep the beef in the pan.

Step 2

Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, tomatoes, jalapeno and green onion to the beef. Stir to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes until tomatoes are very soft. Remove from heat and stir in half of the lime juice. Season with additional salt if needed.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl toss the chopped romaine lettuce with olive oil and remaining lime juice.

Step 4

To assemble the salad, divide lettuce between plates and top evenly with beef and avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy.
