The no recipe, recipe for My Tacoless Salad…15 minute meal

The quickest meal ever and I’m not monkeying around!

I got a little crazy with the decorating!

Sorry I skipped a day posting a recipe.  We are trying to finish up renovating a house we bought over a year ago.  Almost there!  The kitchen is grand, I am a happy woman!  Pictures to come.


Just because I didn’t have a lot of time to cook, or for that matter all of the right tools (the gas is still not hooked up to the stove at new house) doesn’t mean I couldn’t eat a sugar free and grain free meal!


This is very kid friendly and husband friendly too!  Make it fun! 


The No Recipe, Recipe for My Tacoless Salad


2 pound ground beef
6 tablespoons homemade Taco seasoning (see below for recipe.  If using store bought, find one without MSG)
Lettuce/spinach (if in rush, precut in the bag works great)
Cheese (again, if in a rush, pre-shredded is fine)
Sour Cream
Salsa
Avocado
Lime wedges
Olives
Jalapenos slices

1. Brown meat in pan.  Add taco seasonings and 1/2 cup of water.
2. Prepare lettuce, cheese and other toppings for salad.  Slice avacado and squeeze lime juice on it to help prevent browning (and it taste good).
3. Assemble: Lettuce, lots of meat, cheese, sour cream, salsa and avacado on the side.

•  
• Homemade Taco Seasoning
•  
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

 

Mix and store in airtight container.  Use 3 tablespoons per 1 pound of meat.
