Serve: Drizzle the lime vinaigrette dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side for individual customization. Enjoy with tortilla chips, extra avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for garnish.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with crumbled tofu or a plant-based ground. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef while cooking, or include a finely diced jalapeño in the salad. For a creamier dressing, whisk in a tablespoon of mayonnaise or sour cream.
