Instructions
- 1
Make the dressing: combine the avocado, lime juice, water, olive oil, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and pourable, about 30–45 seconds. If the dressing is too thick to pour, add water 1 tbsp at a time until it reaches a thin, drizzleable consistency. Taste and adjust salt. Set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until no pink remains and the beef registers 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 7–9 minutes.
