In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until it gets completely brown. Set it aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add onion and bell pepper. Cook until onions are soft and translucent. It’s about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add all the spices (paprika, onion powder, coriander powder, chili powder, cumin powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper).
Stir everything together and bring cooked ground beef to the pot. Give a stir and add chicken stock.
Bring the ground beef mixture to a boil and then, lower the heat to low, cover with a lid and simmer for 20-30 mins (the longer, the better), stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
For The Salsa
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
For The Salad
In a large salad bowl, add lettuces, sliced avocado, salsa and half of the cooked ground beef.
Squeeze some lime on top of the salad and season it with salt and pepper if necessary.
If you want to use pre-made taco seasoning, make sure to get a whole30 approved one with no filler ingredients.
If making this ahead of time, you should hold off slicing the avocado as it'll brown as it oxidizes.
For the best flavour use fresh lime juice.
To store: If this salad will be your lunch at work, bring the salsa and avocado in a separate container to avoid the salad getting soggy. Everything will keep well when separate for up to 4 days.
To reheat: You can reheat the beef separately in the microwave from the salsa and lettuce.
