Paleo Street Taco
I love these paleo street tacos. I love everything about street tacos. I love the portion size; I love the deliciously seasoned meat; and most importantly, I love the generous toppings of onion, cilantro, and lime.
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package reduced fat ground turkey
- 3 carrots cut into 1/8” discs
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 cup fresh salsa I like it spicy!
- 3 limes 2 for cooking and 1 for garnish
- 1 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1/4 cup of diced purple onion
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- guacamole for toppings
- sea salt and cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat up a large skillet with about 1 T extra virgin olive oil. Add the ground turkey, carrots, cumin and about ½ cup of the salsa. Stir the mixture together – making sure to break up the turkey meat as it cooks.
- When the meat is about finished, squeeze in the juice of about 2 limes and add about ½ cup cilantro. Stir and spoon into the butter lettuce leaves.
- I topped my tacos with a couple dabs of pre-made guacamole, more salsa, purple onion, more cilantro, and more lime. Absolutely delicious.
