1
Prepare the Lettuce
Wash and dry the head of lettuce. Remove the leaves and set aside.
2
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, dry it, and then chop it coarsely.
3
Slice the Jalapeño
Cut the jalapeño in half, remove the seeds (if desired for less heat), and slice it thinly.

4
Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

5
Assemble the Dish
On a serving plate, layer the cooked ground beef, followed by the lettuce leaves. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese generously over the top.
6
Add Toppings
Drizzle salsa verde over the cheese, then top with chopped cilantro and sliced jalapeño.
