Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup chopped lettuce or mixed greens
- ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
- ½ cup pickles, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- While the meat is cooking, rinse and chop lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and pickles. Slice the avocado just before assembling.
- Divide the chopped greens into serving bowls. Top with cooked protein, cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, pickles, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil or healthy dressing. Garnish with fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce or mustard if desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Keep greens and avocado separate to prevent sogginess. Reheat cooked protein gently before serving.
- Customize toppings by adding sliced jalapenos, shredded lettuce, or pickled red onions for extra flavor.
