Instructions
Taco Salad
- Heat oil, lard or bacon fat in large skillet on medium heat.
- Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and sautee until onion is tender and clear.
- While onion and pepper are sauteeing, combine ground beef, cumin and chipotle in a large mixing bowl.
- Add ground beef mixture to skillet and brown.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer another 10-20 min.
- Place salad greens on a plate and put ground beef on top.
- Add pico de gallo and guacamole.
Guacamole
- In a large bowl, spoon out avocado and mash with a fork until desired consistency.
- Add onion, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Store in airtight container with avocado pit to preserve freshness.
Pico De Gallo
- Place all ingredients into food processor or blender and chop coarsely until mixture reaches desired consistency. I usually do about 5-8 pulses and it's good to go.
- Set aside or store in fridge when done.
Notes
If you're not abstaining from alcohol, now would be a great time to pour yourself a tequila and soda water to enjoy with your meal.
