Ingredients
1 lb. ground beef
1-2 tsp. olive oil
2 T Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning
1 cup water
5 oz. baby kale leaves, washed and spun dry if needed
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 can
1-2 avocados, diced
1 T fresh squeezed lime juice
2 T fresh squeezed lime juice, see notes
1/2 tsp. ground chile powder, see notes
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning
3 T olive oil
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a heavy frying pan, crumble the ground beef into the pan and cook over medium-high heat until the beef is browned, breaking apart with a turner as it cooks. When the beef is well browned, sprinkle in the Kalyn’s Taco Seasoning and add the water, stir to combine, and simmer on low heat until all the liquid is evaporated, about 8-10 minutes. When the bottom of the pan is completely dry, remove the taco meat and let it cool in a bowl until it’s just slightly warm. While the beef cooks, whisk together the 2 T lime juice, ground chile powder, ground cumin , Spike Seasoning , and olive oil to make the dressing. Wash the baby kale and spin dry if needed. Cut the red pepper into strips and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Cut the avocado into cubes and toss with the 1 T of lime juice. Put the kale leaves into a bowl that’s big enough to hold all the salad ingredients and toss with the dressing. Add the slightly cooled taco meat, red pepper strips, and tomato halves and toss again. Then add the avocado pieces and gently toss again. Serve right away.
