Taco filling in the pan. |
My 30 day challenge to myself: Eat Clean, Eat Healthy, and Eat like our ancestors did! No grains, starch, dairy, refined sugars or fun allowed... kidding about the last part! I'm doing my best to find and create easy, quick "caveman" recipes to satisfy, tantalize and inspire me to keep this going! Feel free to take from this what you will, and any pointers are always appreciated! Kicking it Caveman baby!

Day Twelve: Tacos, Arrrrrriba!
So the good news: I have made enough for some quality groceries this week. The bad news: I need to get them done ASAP, as my supply of healthy Paleo leftovers and snack ingredients is dwindling rapidly, and those chips my roommate brought home are looking better and better. EEP!
Today I took basically the same filling used in my Stuffed Peppers from yesterday and added a few more veggies (effectively wiping out my crisper drawer). Stacking my filling into a lettuce leaf, which I let simmer on low heat in some tomatoe juice for about half an hour so as to really get the juicy factor, I ruminated on just how awesome leafy greens are as a substitute for buns. Seriously though, the crunch is still there, only you don't find all the flavours of the sandwich/burger/etc get lost amongst all that white, useless bread. With some avocado thrown in for good measure, I had a few wonderful tacos for dinner!
