Ingredients

• 1.5 pound lean ground pork (at least 92% lean)
• 3 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
• 4 clove garlic (minced)
• 1.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 2 red bell peppers (large, cored and chopped)
• 8 ounce baby spinach
• 4 avocados (pitted and sliced)
• 0.25 cup lime juice
• 0.5 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 cup walnuts (chopped)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground pork and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary. Stir in the garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant, then remove the pork mixture from the skillet and set aside.
2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, until just wilted.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and fresh cilantro. Divide the baby spinach and cooked vegetables among 6 serving bowls. Top with the seasoned pork mixture.
4. Arrange the sliced avocado over each bowl. Drizzle with the lime-cilantro dressing and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add the avocado and walnuts fresh just before serving for best texture.
