Diane's Ancestral Blend Soft Tacos
4
10 minutes
15 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb Ancestral Blend Ground Beef (or any ground meat)
Soft tortillas (Diane recommends One Mighty Mill)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
Fresh guacamole
Fresh lettuce
Fresh tomato
Directions
Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until evenly blended.
Brown your ground meat: Cook 1 lb of ancestral blend ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Note: there should be no fat to drain given the lean 90/10 ancestral meat.
Add seasoning: Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat.
Simmer with water: Add ⅓ cup water, stir, and let simmer about 5 minutes until the meat is coated and sauce is thickened.
Build & top: Add the cooked meat to your soft tortilla and top with guacamole, lettuce, and fresh tomato. Note: add shredded cheese if desired.
