For the Ground Beef:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
- 1 pound lean grass-fed beef
- 1.5 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Cabbage Slaw:
- 3 cups red cabbage shredded
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
For the Tacos:
- grain-free tortillas
- 1 avocado peeled and sliced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 batch Paleo Sour Cream & Onion Dip (for the "queso")
Make the Spiced Ground Beef:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion turns translucent and begins to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the garlic and bell pepper and continue cooking until bell pepper begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the beef, seasonings and sea salt, breaking up the beef into desired sized chunks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Roast the Sweet Potato:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spread the chopped sweet potato on a large baking dish and drizzle with oil and sprinkle with chili powder and sea salt. Use your hands to toss everything together until the sweet potato chunks are well-coated in oil and seasoning.
Roast 25 to 30 minutes, turning half-way through, or until golden-brown and soft on the inside.
Make the Tacos:
Heat the grain-free tortillas on the stove-top (or in a microwave). Load them up with desired amount of spiced ground beef, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, cabbage slaw, tomatoes, green onion, queso fresco, and cilantro. Enjoy!
