1 medium size yellow onion (diced)
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup bone broth
1 pound grass-fed ground beef
Diced tomatoes for garnish
Pickled jalapenos for garnish
paleo tortillas
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon thyme
½ head red or green cabbage (finely sliced)

3-4 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon unrefined salt
Freshly cracked pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all the taco seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. For the tacos, pre-heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions, peppers, celery, along with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple cracks of pepper, cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 3 minutes or until the peppers have softened a little bit. Add the taco seasoning mix and mix well. Cook for 3 minutes so the spices can bloom then add the beef. Break up the beef well and raise the heat to medium-high and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the meat is almost cooked through, add the bone broth, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15 minutes, or until thick and saucy. Check for seasoning, you may need more salt, and skim some of the fat off the beef. Set aside.
  • Make the slaw by adding the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and pepitas to a large bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a couple cracks of pepper. Add the mayo, lime juice and mix well and check for seasoning. You may need more mayo or lime juice.
  • Toast the tortillas or warm in the oven, place some slaw in the tortilla and top with the beef mixture. Enjoy!

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX



Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix image

Much lower salt than pre-made. Salt can be omitted. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00!! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat. To keep salt content low make sure chili powder does not contain salt.
