Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings and Garnishes

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup pickles, sliced
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Brown the Meat: Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until flavors are well combined.
  5. Prepare the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer a base of shredded lettuce to provide a fresh, crunchy foundation for the dish.
  6. Add Toppings: Scatter cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced pickles evenly over the meat mixture to add bursts of flavor and texture.
  7. Finish with Sauce: If desired, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream on top for creaminess and a tangy contrast.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the bowls to enhance presentation and add a fresh herbal note.

Notes

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients to maximize flavor.
  • Customize with additional toppings like avocado, salsa, or hot sauce.
  • Make the meat mixture ahead of time to save meal prep time.
  • Substitute ground chicken or plant-based meat alternatives if desired.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated up to 3-4 days or freeze meat mixture up to 3 months.
