Description

This is a great low-carb alternative to your standard homemade tacos. I love Mexican food and wasn't willing to part with tacos after starting my low-carb diet. This always satisfies my craving.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef
1 onion, diced
½ (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 tomato, chopped
½ cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
¼ cup salsa
¼ cup low-fat sour cream
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced

Directions

1. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and jalapeno peppers together in a skillet over medium-high heat until meat is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir taco seasoning into meat mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir meat mixture, shredded lettuce, tomato, Cheddar cheese, salsa, and sour cream together in a large bowl. Divide taco mixture among 4 bowls and top each with avocado slices.
