  4. Add garlic, taco seasoning, peppers, salt and pepper and cook until peppers just start to wilt, 5 minutes.
  5. Veggie mixture can be prepped ahead of time and stored in fridge. I like to do this, makes prep a pinch!

  7. Meanwhile, prep your veggies: Shred romaine, slice corn off the cobb, slice avocado and chop red onion.

  1. Place mound of romaine on a platter.
  2. Top with corn, avocado and red onion.
  3. Top with a generous amount of beef.
  4. Season with lime juice, olive oil, chilli peppers, salt and pepper.
  5. Garnish with cilantro for look and flavor.

Recipe Notes

I buy my grass-fed beef frozen. If yours comes frozen, plan this dish one night ahead and defrost your beef in the fridge overnight.
