1 medium tomato, diced
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)

Instructions

1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallion greens and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute.
2
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains and the meat registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
