• 2 g (1/4 tsp) Cayenne Powder
• 20 g (~tbsp) of Tomato paste

Instructions

1. Instructions
2. 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.
3. Make the sauce: In a small bow, mix together yogurt, green chile sauce, and lime juice until homogenous and desired spice/acidity is reached.
4. Prep bowl components: Chop the veggies to your desired size, and grate the cheese.
5. 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.
