When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meat mixture until browning and crumbly. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and sriracha/jalapenos. In a separate large bowl, place cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, cilantro and cashews.
