Cooking Steps
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice green onion. Zest, then juice lime.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat. Add Enchilada Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beef to a medium bowl. Add chipotle sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to coat beef.
Meanwhile, add tomatoes, peppers, half the lime juice, half the green onions and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to another medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Add sour cream, lime zest and 1 1/2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth.
Add remaining lime juice and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine. Add spinach, then toss to coat.
Divide dressed greens between bowls. Top with beef, pico de gallo and guacamole. Drizzle creamy lime dressing over top, then sprinkle with cheese and remaining green onions.

Review summary
Updated on Sep 2026- Flavour: The guacamole and sour cream dressing is a highlight, and the enchilada-spiced beef adds good depth; some reviewers found the overall dish a touch bland without the chipotle sauce.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, though a few reviewers noted it generates more dishes than expected for a salad meal.
- Suggestions: Add crushed tortilla chips on top for crunch, which several reviewers found made a noticeable difference in texture and satisfaction. Consider using romaine or iceberg lettuce instead of spinach or spring mix for a crisper base that holds up better under the warm beef.
- Portions: Some reviewers felt the ground beef portion was small relative to the volume of greens, and a few suggested adding black beans or extra vegetables to make the bowl more filling.
