High Protein Beef Bowl (it ain't pretty, but it tastes good)

Ingredients

Seasoned Beef

450 g (1 lb) ground beef, 93/7 lean-to-fat ratio
3 g (1/2 tsp) ground cumin
3 g (1/2 tsp) garlic powder
3 g (1/2 tsp) smoked paprika
2 g (1/4 tsp) cayenne Powder
20 g (~tbsp) of tomato paste
7 g (1-2 tsp) kosher salt, or to taste

Green Chile Yogurt Sauce

50 g (1/3 cup) nonfat plain yogurt (I used Siggi’s Icelandic)
15 g (1 tbsp) green chile sauce (or salsa of choice)
A squeeze of lime juice, to taste

Bowl Components, to preference

Diced red onion
Pickled jalapenos
Romaine lettuce
28 g (~1/4 cup) Monterrey jack cheese
10 tortilla chips (1 serving)

Instructions

Prep the beef: In a pan, add the ground beef, salt, and spices. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to break up the beef as it cooks. Once the beef is well browned, add in the tomato paste along with a splash of water and mix until the beef is glazed.

Make the sauce: In a small bow, mix together yogurt, green chile sauce, and lime juice until homogenous and desired spice/acidity is reached.

Prep bowl components: Chop the veggies to your desired size, and grate the cheese.

Assemble and serve: To assemble, add the lettuce as a base, then follow with 1/3 of the beef, grated cheese, pickled jalapenos, red onion, and the chile yogurt sauce. I mix all this up and then eat it with tortilla chips.
