Notes
- Ground beef - If you don't have leftover ground beef, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a pan over medium high heat, then add raw ground beef. Flatten the beef out in the pan with the edge of a wood spoon and sear for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Then flip and begin to break up the beef into smaller pieces.
- Pair with tortilla chips, queso, black beans, and guacamole for a taco salad.
- This homemade ranch is great as a homemade dressing substitute that pairs well with the ingredients.
