Ingredients:

2 lb ground beef (80/20%)
910g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 cups sour cream
460g
2 cup lettuce
90g
2 cups cheddar cheese
230g
1 pinch red pepper (spice)
1g
1 avocado
200g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:
- 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.
2. Add Seasoning and Water:
- 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.
3. Prepare Other Ingredients:
- 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.
4. Assemble the Bowls:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.
