My Top 4 (and Fab 4) Taco Recipes:

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 tablespoons smoked paprika

1 1⁄2 teaspoons garlic powder

3⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, plus more to taste

8 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup halved grape tomatoes

1⁄2 cup cilantro leaves

1 orange bell pepper, cut into 1⁄4-inch dice

1 tablespoon avocado oil

Juice of 1 lime

2 avocados

1 garlic clove, minced

4 Siete almond flour tortillas (or another grain-free tortilla)

Directions

Place the beef in a skillet and cook it over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. If you prefer drier meat, drain some of the fat from the skillet. Add the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Stir the seasonings into the meat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes to combine and heat through.

In a large bowl, toss the romaine, tomatoes, cilantro, and bell pepper with the avocado oil and half of the lime juice. In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with the garlic and the remaining lime juice. Salt to taste. I used to toast to the tortillas one by one on the skillet but now I have hungry boys all around me so I either 1) throw them directly in the oven for a few mins to crisp or 2) spray them with avocado oil and bake them on a sheet pan all at the same time for efficiency. ;)

To serve, layer the tortillas with avocado smash, ground beef, and the romaine mixture.
