Ingredients Needed

Protein:

  • 1 lb (450 g) 80/20 ground beef

Veggies:

  • 1 medium ripe avocado (about 150 g)
  • 1 small onion, diced (about 100 g)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced (about 120 g)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, about 15 g)

Sauce:

  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream

Spices:

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other:

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

Dice the onion and tomatoes, chop cilantro if using, and halve the lime. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Push the beef to one side of the skillet and add the diced onion. Sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and toast the spices slightly. Add a tablespoon of water or broth if the mixture looks dry.

Step 4

In the mixing bowl with avocado, mash with a fork. Add sour cream, fresh lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Stir or whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust lime or salt to taste.

Step 5

Spoon the seasoned beef and onion mixture into bowls. Top with diced tomatoes and a generous drizzle or dollop of avocado crema. Garnish with extra cilantro or shredded cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
