Print Recipe QR Code Save Recipe

Ingredients

Avocado-Lime Dressing

  • 1 large avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk

Taco Salad

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried minced onion
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • 5 ounces grape tomatoes quartered
  • 4 ounces Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 15 ounce can Pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 6 ounces romaine lettuce thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Make avocado-lime dressing. Add all ingredients for the dressing to a food processor or Nutri Bullet (I use mine for so many things). Process until pureed.
  • Evenly divide dressing among the bottom of the four jars. This is your base layer.
  • Combine ground beef, salt, minced onion, cumin, chili powder, pepper and garlic together in skillet. Brown ground beef until fully cooked. Remove from heat and drain off the fat. Leave aside until cool.
  • Once the beef has cooled, divide it among the jars.
  • Next add tomatoes
  • Then cheddar cheese
  • Pinto beans
  • And the final layer of romaine lettuce. Each of the above ingredients will be evenly distributed among each jar.
