Persian Tacos W/Vegetarian Option image

Local recipe. For a vegetarian version, substitute any seasonal vegetable such as eggplant, summer squash/zucchini, acorn squash, portabello mushrooms, etc. either grilled or roasted. *FRESH* herbs only, please! Even quicker to prepare if you use leftover shredded meat or vegetables!

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 -8 corn tortillas (5 inch, I made my own using masa harina dry mix)
fresh Baby Spinach (or combination, can also sub your favorite salad greens like butter lettuce, red leaf, etc.) or fresh baby arugula (or combination, can also sub your favorite salad greens like butter lettuce, red leaf, etc.)
tomatoes, diced small
lime slice
yellow hot chili pepper (we like yellow jalapenos)
green onion, thinly sliced
red onion, diced small
cucumber, diced small
avocado, diced small
fresh cilantro
fresh basil
of fresh mint
plain yogurt, drained
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb ground chicken or 1 lb ground turkey
1 garlic clove, peeled and finely minced (I used 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic because my fresh garlic had gone bad)
salt or pepper
1 -2 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
1 -2 teaspoon sumac, to taste
1/2 lime, juice of

Steps:

  • Prep the garnishes and arrange on a serving platter. Cover until ready to use and set aside or refrigerate.
  • In a large skillet heat up olive oil on medium heat. Brown the ground beef until half way cooked then add the garlic. Cook until the meat is no longer pink; approximately 5 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from stove and season meat with salt and pepper, to taste. Now stir in about 1 tablespoon of pomegranate molasses and 1 teaspoon of sumac. Taste test. Add more of either-to your preference.
  • Serve the meat warm with the corn tortillas and platter of garnishes. We served simple dark red kidney beans on the side which were lightly seasoned with cumin powder, salt and pepper. I also slightly mashed the beans, too.

These tacos were a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and they were much better. I also used a different type of cheese and that made a big difference. Overall, these tacos were good, but I think they could be improved with a few tweak
