Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil, lard or tallow
- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 red or green jalapeño (seeds and membrane removed and thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the scallions, garlic, and jalapeño and saute another 2 minutes, or until the garlic browns.
- Stir in the coconut aminos and fish sauce. And cook for another 30 seconds or so.
- Serve with lettuce leaves, cucumbers, shredded carrots, scallion greens, lime wedges, fresh herbs, and chili sauce.
