Ingredients
- 1 lb Grass Run Farms® 85% Lean 15% Fat Ground Beef
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 packets taco seasoning
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt to taste
- 2 cups lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Mexican cheese, shredded
- 1 can tomatoes, diced
- 1 can green chiles, chopped
- 1/4 cup purple onion, chopped
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, cook and crumble grass-fed ground beef over medium heat for four to six minutes until cooked through; drain.
2. Add one packet of taco seasoning and water, and cook for two minutes until thickened.
3. In a large bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, second packet of taco seasoning, garlic powder, cumin, juice and zest of lime, and salt.
3. Spread mixture into baking dish or tray. Layer cooked ground beef on top.
4. Top with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, chiles, onion, and avocado. Serve with chips.
Pro Tips
1. If time allows, let your cream cheese and sour cream mixture thicken in the refrigerator before topping with ground beef.
2. Create single serving hors d'oeuvres by preparing your dip in individual ramekins rather than a large baking dish.
3. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160º F. Color is not a reliable indicator of doneness, but a meat thermometer will do the trick!
