Instructions

1 Combine all avocado, first measure of olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, and
garlic cloves in a blender. Process until smooth.
2 Add cilantro and water. Blend until smooth. Taste for seasoning to see if
dressing needs more salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate dressing until ready
to use.
3 In a skillet, combine oil, beef, cumin, paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt and
black pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until cooked through and no longer
pink.
4 While meat is browning, drain and rinse beans.
5 Add beans to skillet when meat is cooked through, stirring until combined. Cook
bean mixture until beans are heated through, then turn off heat.
6 If you have not done so, cut up lettuce, bell peppers, shallots, tomato, and
olives.
7 To assemble salad, make layers of lettuce, pepper, onion, tomato, bean and beef
mixture, and olives. Top salad with avocado dressing and garnish with additional
chopped cilantro, if desired.
