Serves 2 (easily doubles)

½ pound lean ground beef

½ cup chopped onions

1 can (8 oz.) beans (or ½ 15 oz. can)

½ cup shredded Monterrey Jack or cheddar cheese

1 small tomato, cut into wedges

1 small avocado, cut into wedges

Tortilla chips for serving

Chunky fresh salsa for serving (optional)

1. Cook the ground beef and onions together in a pan until the ground beef is done. Drain off any extra fat.

3. Divide the lettuce between two plates.

4. Top the lettuce with the ground beef and beans mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Arrange the tomato and avocado slices on top. Serve with a few tortilla chips. Top with a bit of chunky fresh salsa, if desired.
