It is helpful to establish first that everyone likes cilantro - it has a strong flavor!
Instructions
Coat the bottom of a pan with coconut oil, and heat. Add spice blend that meat will be cooked in and stir gently until it just starts to bubble and spices become aromatic. Then immediately add ground meat and brown.
Combine olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper for salad dressing and toss with chopped lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and chopped cilantro*. Top with spiced ground meat.
Serves well with GF cornbread or chips.
*Note: Cilantro may be chopped and tossed with salad, or combined with dressing to make more of a chimichurri or flavor balm. (Recipe #813)
