Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep the taco filling
- Cut a small corner from the ground beef packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.
- If using the poblano, remove the stem, ribs, and seeds; finely chop the poblano. Wash your hands after handling.
2
Cook the taco filling
Add the simmer sauce base and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and the beef is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
While the taco filling cooks, heat the tortillas.
3
Warm the tortillas
- Remove 12 tortillas from the package; save the rest for another use.
While the tortillas warm, prepare the garnishes.
4
Prep the garnishes
- Trim the root end from the romaine hearts; keep a few leaves whole for taco bowls for any paleo diners.
- Coarsely tear the remaining romaine leaves.
- Peel and finely chop enough red onion to measure 1 cup.
- Cut the lime into wedges.
- Cut away the cores from the tomatoes; coarsely chop the tomatoes.
- Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pits, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.
- Strip the cilantro leaves from the stems.
