Tips:

• If you want to make this dish vegetarian, you can substitute the ground beef with tofu or vegetarian ground meat.
• You can add any toppings you like such as olives, jalapeños, or diced onions.
• This dish can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just don't add the dressing until you are ready to serve.

Veggie twist:  you can incorporate hearts of palm by slicing them thinly. They add a nice crunch and refreshing flavor.  They  can also be a great veggie alternative by substituting the taco meat  part. For the latest 2024 Costa Rican palmito pickled version, click here.
