Tonight's easy Dinner from Paleo Girls

 From : http://paleogirls.com/2010/02/23/turkey-tacos/

I decided to make a quick and easy dinner.  I found this Recipe and put my own tweaks on it.  I seasoned meat to taste and served with spicy guacamole and salsa.  Now I also have my lunch for tomorrow.  I always like to share great easy recipes!

Ingredients:
  • 6 full Romaine leaves, stems intact
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, divided (you could also use coconut oil)
  • 1.5 lbs. ground Turkey (chicken and beef will work just as well)
  • Scratch Taco Seasoning (chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, dried oregano, paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper)
  • Top with your favorite: fresh organic salsa, homemade guacamole, sliced olives, diced tomatoes
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 Tablespoons of the Olive Oil at medium-high, and then add the ground turkey. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until done. Drain excess juice from the pan. Turn the heat down to low, and add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and about 1/4 cup of water to the turkey. Add your taco seasoning and mix well.


Place scoops of the taco meat onto your washed Romaine leaves. (Using the full leaves gives them stability for holding while eating.) Top with whatever Paleo taco toppings sound good to you! I did mine with a store-bought organic salsa, and our favorite homemade guacamole.

  1. These are so yummy! They are so easy, taste great, and I always have leftovers for lunch or even breakfast (throw some of the meat into eggs w/ the salsa and guac). Happy eating!
