Healthy Taco Thursday (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Nutrient-Dense)
This taco has a cauliflower tort base.
Ingredients:
Grass Fed Ground Beef
Organic Tomatoes
Organic Cilantro
Organic Serrano Peppers
Organic Lime Juice
Raw Cheese
Cauliflower
1 Pasture Egg
Process:
Cauliflower Tortilla: This is similar to the cauliflower pizza crust recipe, but simply add your own taco seasoning spices.
Blend 1 head of cauliflower in blender/Vita-mix until rice size
Place rice size cauliflower in 1/2 cup filtered water and bring to boil. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Strain water from rice. I have found that putting the cauliflower rice into a thin kitchen cloth and squeezing out the remaining water helps with the crispiness of the crust/tortilla.
Place cauliflower rice into a mixing bowl and add 1 egg and 1/2 cup of raw cheese shavings or creamy goat cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon of natural salt. Mix well. (You do not have to add cheese if you are on a non-dairy diet)
Add any and all of your favorite spices to go along with taco trimmings. I like to add cumin, garlic and chili powder for a taco flavor.
Drop and press desired size of tortilla onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll/press mixture very thin for a crispy tortilla. Bake at 350 for approximately 10 minutes on each side. I like mine to be extra "done" so I cook them a little longer.
Tips: You can make these ahead of time and keep in the refrigerator for a few days-then simply warm them on a cast iron skillet as you would a regular tortilla. You can also make these for your morning toast and simply add cinnamon, coconut sugar, etc. to your cauliflower rice mix. It's delicious!
Taco Toppings:
Place Grass Fed Ground into cast iron skillet with your favorite spices ( I love Cumin, Cayenne, Chili Powder, Natural Salt and Pepper) and gently cook until brown. Spoon onto your cauliflower torts and top with organic cilantro, tomato, raw cheese, Serrano pepper and your homemade salsa!
Easy Homemade Salsa
Place 1 handful of organic cilantro, tomato, 1 or 2 Serrano peppers and the juice of one lime into blender/Vita-mix and blend to desired consistency. So simple and tasty!
Enjoy!
