Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 pound grass-fed ground beef
1 tablespoon organic taco seasoning blend
1 head of Romaine lettuce (bottom removed), leaves washed and cross-cut into thin strips
1 to 1 1/2 cups grated, packaged Mexican blend or pepper jack cheese
Prepared fresh salsa—add to taste
1 large ripe avocado, quartered and cut into small chunks.
Sour Cream

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and cook until softened—about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add ground beef, breaking into small pieces with a utensil. Allow beef to cook and brown lightly with the onion, continuing to break up into small chunks, until no longer pink—about 5 minutes.
Stir in taco seasoning, mix to blend, and remove from heat. Drain any excess oil and set aside.
Assemble 4 dinner plates with a mound of romaine lettuce in the center of each plate.
Top with 2 large serving spoons of seasoned warm beef/onion mixture.
Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/3 cup shredded cheese on top of beef.
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of salsa over cheese.
Top with 1/4 avocado per serving and 2 to 3 tablespoons sour cream.
