Taco Salad

• 1 lb of ground beef/turkey/chicken
• 1/2 yellow onion
• Minced garlic
• Taco seasoning
• Cayenne pepper (optional)
• Hot sauce (optional)
• 14 oz can of diced tomatoes (I bought a can which also had jalapeños)
• 4 oz can of diced green chiles
• Romaine lettuce
• 1-2 Avocados

Instructions

1. Throw your protein in a pan over high-ish heat.
2. While the meat is cooking, dice up the onion.
3. When the meat is browned and cooked through you can drain out any grease if you want. I leave it in.
4. Add some minced garlic, taco seasoning, and the diced onion. How much? Up to you. 🙂 I have a big container of taco seasoning so just sprinkled some around. Most people will probably use a packet from the store. I have minced garlic in a bottle, so I gave it 3 little squirts, which was maybe a teaspoon.
5. Add some cayenne pepper and/or hot sauce if you want. I didn’t measure.
6. Mix it all together and cook until the onion becomes translucent.
7. Add the tomatoes and green chiles.
8. Cook for another 5-7 minutes to let all of the flavors combine.

I ate mine on a bed of romaine lettuce with half of a mashed avocado on top.
