Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned all over, about 10 minutes.
  2. While the meat is cooking, place the shredded lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes in a large serving bowl.
  3. Drain any excess liquid from the cooked meat. Stir in the oregano, cumin, paprika, and salsa. Remove from heat, and spoon the beef over the salad.
  4. Add the shredded cheese over the beef, then garnish with the avocado, cilantro and sliced jalapeños, if using.
  5. Toss everything together or leave in layers. Serve immediately with sour cream, if desired.
