1 tbsp Avocado Oil
3–4 cups Romaine Lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 large Avocado, sliced or cubed
1/2 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded

Instructions
- Prepare the seasoning by combining chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper in a small bowl
