Ground Beef Tacos Recipe.
To follow up with a delicious use for some Paleo tortillas, here’s a basic taco recipe that you can adapt almost endlessly to suit your personal tastes. As long as you’ve got your taco shells and meat ready, the choice of toppings is practically unlimited. Go traditional with bell peppers, salsa, and onions, or branch out with fruits: some melon salsa would be a great way to add an original twist, or what about mango? Avocado? Pineapple? Of course, if you tolerate dairy, some melted cheese on top never goes wrong, either.
