Instructions
- Prepare the dressing by placing sour cream, Greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, and spices in blender. Blend until thoroughly combined; place in fridge while preparing the rest of the meal.
- Prepare the meat mixture. In a large skillet, saute the red bell pepper and red onion over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, until soft. Add the ground beef and chili powder and continue cooking until meat is completely browned. Add the salsa, mix to incorporate, and cook an extra minute. Set aside.
- Assemble the salad bases with romaine lettuce and veggies. Divide the meat mixture and top each of the salads with it. Add Mexican cheese and/or tortilla strips, if desired. Drizzle with creamy cilantro lime dressing.* Enjoy!
