This keto-friendly salad has everything you’d want in a taco but without all the carbs. It features wonderful taco toppings on a crunchy salad and is topped with a homemade Catalina dressing.
1 tbsp avocado oil
1⁄2lb (225g) ground beef
1⁄4 cup no-sugar-added tomato sauce
2 tbsp water
11⁄2 tsp chili powder
1⁄2 tsp ground cumin
1⁄4 tsp garlic powder
1⁄8 tsp onion powder
1⁄8 tsp paprika
1⁄4 tsp fine grind sea salt
1⁄2 medium head iceberg lettuce, torn into small pieces (about 4 cups)
1 Roma tomato, diced
1⁄2 medium avocado, diced
2 tbsp sliced black olives
1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp full-fat sour cream
FOR THE DRESSING
11⁄2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1⁄4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
11⁄2 tbsp no-sugar-added tomato sauce
1⁄4 tsp onion powder
1⁄4 tsp paprika
1⁄8 tsp erythritol granular sweetener
1⁄8 tsp fine grind sea salt
1 Make the dressing by combining the avocado oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, onion powder, paprika, sweetener, and sea salt in a small bowl. Whisk until blended. Set aside.
2 Select Sauté (Normal). Once the pot is hot, add the avocado oil. Crumble the ground beef into the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meat is browned and cooked through.
3 Add the tomato sauce, water, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt to the pot. Stir.
4 Continue cooking, stirring continuously, until the sauce begins to bubble and then press Cancel to turn off the pot. Let the ground beef rest in the pot for 3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
5 Divide equal amounts of lettuce between two plates. Spoon 1⁄2 cup of the ground beef mixture over top of the lettuce and top each salad with equal amounts of the tomato, avocado, olives, and cheddar.
6 Drizzle 2 tbsp of the dressing over top of each salad and then top each with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream. Serve promptly.
tip If you’re missing some seasoning ingredients, you can substitute 1 tablespoon store-bought taco seasoning in step 3 and omit the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sea salt.
