Deconstructed Taco Salad with Green Finished Ground Beef

I love all the many flavors!

I love Mexican-ish food. I promise I will have more than just Mexican-ish recipes on here eventually. It just so happens I am in a hankering-for-Mexican-ish-foods mood lately.

Here is my go-to, simple family favorite. You will need the following:

1 lb. healthy ground beef (Green finished, organic, ground beef available here delivered to your door)
1 small onion, minced
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbsp. your favorite chili spices mix (I buy mine in bulk at local health food stores)
1 Tbsp. fine sea salt
1/4 cup water
1 cup shredded healthy cheddar and/or jack cheese (Organic, raw cheeses delivered to your door)
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 small can of sliced, natural black olives (like these ones)
1 small can of diced green chilies
Sliced, pickled jalapenos
1 cup of sour cream
Avocado mash (1-2 smashed, ripe avocados with salt and pepper to taste)
1 bag of organic corn tortilla chips
Your favorite salsa! (Here's one of my favorite recipes for SALSA)

Green Finished, organic ground beef

Brown the beef on medium high heat with your favorite healthy oil or butter. Once browned, move meat over to one side of pan, add a wee bit more oil/butter, saute the onion for about 2 min. Add the garlic and saute for 1 min. Add the spices, salt and water, mix back in with the meat, and simmer on LOW until ready to put together salad.

The colors of Mexico's flag!

Build your own salad with remaining ingredients and enjoy! Ole!
