Instructions
- In a large pan or Dutch oven, warm the avocado oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for around 5 minutes, ensuring to crumble it into small bits.
- Incorporate the onion, garlic, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper into the pan and sauté for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
- Mix in the tomato paste, salsa, kidney beans, and corn, ensuring everything is well combined; continue to cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.
- Take the pan off the heat and blend in 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro along with the juice from 1 lime.
- Present the dish with shaved iceberg lettuce, crushed tortilla chips, extra cilantro, avocado slices, and your preferred taco sauce.
Notes
- For a healthier option, consider using lean ground beef or ground turkey instead of regular ground beef.
- Adjust the amount of taco seasoning for a milder flavor if desired.
- Enhance the dish with extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor.
