Paleo Mexican Tacos
I feel like I’ve been on a Mexican kick since those fish tacos I cooked for Cinco de Mayo! So here’s another Mexican dish – beef tacos. You can eat them with lettuce wraps or they’re great to gobble down with a spoon!
I started by chopping up all my veggies (onion, tomato, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper).
Then I melted a tablespoon of coconut oil in a saucepan and sauteed the onions until they turned translucent.
Then I added in the ground beef and let that cook for a bit. I used spatula to break up the beef so it didn’t clump (I also poured out some liquid that accumulated during cooking). Then I added in the rest of the veggies.
Lastly I added in all the spices: minced garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, paprika, oregano, and salt to taste. I cooked it until the tomatoes were soft. Then garnished it with some chopped cilantro and served it with lettuce wraps.
