Nourishing Ingredients
When it comes to creating a healthy and flavorful meal, the quality of ingredients is paramount. For these homemade street tacos, we’re ditching the processed and toxic additives found in fast food and opting for wholesome, organic ingredients that nourish our bodies.
* 1 lb grass-fed ground beef: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, grass-fed beef is a superior choice to its grain-fed counterpart.
* 1 small organic onion: Onions are a rich source of antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins, making them a great addition to our taco filling.
* 2 cloves organic garlic: Garlic contains compounds that have antibacterial and antiviral properties, making it a great immune booster.
* 1 tbsp organic chili powder: Made from dried and ground chili peppers, chili powder adds a burst of flavor and antioxidants to our dish.
* 1 tsp ground organic cumin: Cumin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and can aid in digestion.
Safe Cooking Practices
Cooking our food in safe, non-toxic materials is just as important as the ingredients we use. Here’s how we’re cooking our tacos:
* Ghee: A safe and healthy alternative to toxic oils, ghee is a clarified butter that’s rich in fat-soluble vitamins.
* Organic corn tortillas: Made from non-GMO, organic corn, these tortillas are free from harmful pesticides and additives.
Flavorful Assembly
Now that we have our ingredients and cooking methods in check, it’s time to assemble our tacos. Here’s how:
* Cook the grass-fed beef mixture in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
* Warm the organic corn tortillas in a separate pan with ghee, wrapping them in a clean towel to keep them warm.
* Assemble the tacos by spooning the beef mixture onto a warmed tortilla, followed by your desired toppings.
Healthy Toppings
Take your tacos to the next level with these healthy and flavorful topping options:
* Fresh organic cilantro: Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, cilantro adds a burst of fresh flavor to our tacos.
* Diced organic tomatoes: Tomatoes are a great source of vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant that fights cancer.
* Organic lettuce or cabbage: Crunchy and refreshing, these leafy greens add a satisfying texture to our tacos.
