Instructions

• In a medium skillet, brown ground beef. Drain out any liquids.
• Add the taco seasoning to the browned ground beef along with ½ cup of beef broth and simmer over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced and the meat mixture thickens.
• You can use my homemade keto taco seasoning instead of store-bought.
• While it is simmering, wash and dry your lettuce, then chop into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
• Top your lettuce with the taco meat mixture, shredded cheese, then the rest of the toppings (except the avocado).
• In a small bowl, combine the salsa, ranch dressing, and fresh lime juice until thoroughly combined.
• Drizzle ¼ of the dressing back and forth on the top of the taco salad reserving the rest for individual servings.
• Garnish with sliced jalapenos, sliced avocado, and chopped fresh cilantro.
