1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (check for low-carb options or make your own)
8 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup diced red onion

Instructions:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the dressing. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
In a large salad bowl, layer the shredded lettuce as the base. Top it with the cooked ground beef, cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, black olives, and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad or serve it on the side.
Toss the salad gently to combine all the ingredients and coat them with the dressing.
Divide the salad into individual servings and enjoy!
