Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Return the skillet to the stove and add 1/2 cup of water to the cooked ground beef.
- Season the beef with a pinch of red pepper (or more to taste).
- Stir well and let simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the water has mostly evaporated and the beef is well-seasoned.
- While the beef is cooking, wash and shred the lettuce.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if it’s not pre-shredded.
- Slice or dice the avocado.
- Start by placing a base layer of shredded lettuce at the bottom of each bowl.
- Add a layer of the cooked ground beef on top of the lettuce.
- Spread a generous layer of sour cream over the beef.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
- Top each bowl with slices or chunks of avocado.
- Serve the bowls immediately, optionally garnished with additional red pepper or your favorite keto-friendly toppings (such as jalapeños, cilantro, or lime wedges).
Tips:
- For added flavor, season the ground beef with taco seasoning or your favorite Mexican spices while cooking.
- To keep the avocado from browning, add a splash of lime juice to it before adding it to the bowl.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or olives for additional flavor and variety.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add more red pepper spice or a dash of hot sauce.
