Lean Protein Taco Bowl

I have recently started to introduce red meat back into my lifestyle and one of my favorite ways to have it is as a taco bowl. It’s so easy and quick to make so it makes it a great weeknight dish and it’s also customizable to everyone’s liking with all the different additions. It’s packed with fiber from the lettuce, good fats from the avocado and lean protein from the beef.
