Paleo Tacos
In General, StoneAgeFuel
Yesterday was #NationalTacoDay combined with #TacoTuesday and in celebration we thought a good healthy taco recipe from Paleo Leap was in order, because who doesn’t love tacos?
Cauliflower Tortillas Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut up and stems removed;
- 2 large eggs;
- ½ tsp. dried oregano;
- ½ tsp. paprika;
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375 F.
- Using a blender or a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until you get a texture finer than rice.
- Steam the riced cauliflower over boiling water for 5 minutes.
- Place the steamed cauliflower in a dish towel and squeeze out as much excess water as you can. You might want to let it cool for a few minutes first, so you don’t burn yourself. You should be able to get out a lot of water; be really aggressive about squeezing it, or you’ll end up with soggy tortillas later.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl. Add in the eggs, oregano, and paprika, and season to taste ( you can use any spices you like).
- Separate the mixture into 6 balls of equal size, and spread each ball out on a parchment-lined baking sheet to make six small circles.
- Place in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes; then flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Reheat in a pan placed over low heat when ready to serve.
Ground Beef Tacos Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- Salsa of your choice

Ingredients for the taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ½ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Stirring frequently, brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet placed over a medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until the beef is cooked.
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the taco seasoning and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir the taco seasoning in with the meat. Reduce the heat to low, and let everything simmer for 10 minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, layer the beef mixture, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and bell pepper (or whatever other toppings you’re using) in each taco shell.
