Keto taco salad with salsa dressing and guacamole
This fast and simple dish has all the flavors of the Mexican classic salad but without the tortillas or the carbs.
Instructions
Taco meat
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat, and use a spatula to break it up. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes, or until cooked through.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat, and stir until combined. Add the water and increase the temperature to high, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce temperature to medium-low, and let simmer for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Cover, and keep warm over low heat. Meanwhile, prepare the guacamole.
Guacamole
Peel the avocados and place them into a medium-sized bowl.
Add the garlic, lime juice, cilantro, red chili pepper, salt, and pepper. Mash with a fork until the consistency is chunky or smooth, based on your preference. Set aside.
Salsa dressing
In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, salsa, salt, and pepper. Mix together until combined. Set aside.
Taco salad
Layer the salad ingredients in a large serving bowl, or into individual salad bowls.
For serving, top the salad with taco meat, cheese, cilantro, and lime wedges. Add a dollop of guacamole, and drizzle the creamy salsa dressing over the taco salad.
Tip
When buying taco seasoning and salsa, read through the ingredient labels to ensure that the brands are sugar-free.
