Taco Fries - Paleo Amazingness!

-

When I first started looking for Paleo recipes this was one of the first ones that came up and we tired. It is super easy and the kids loving being able to put their own toppings on! Plus, I am an addict for the sweet potatoes so how could we go wrong here? 




Recipe - Compliments of Paleo Leap

Serves: 4
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6-8 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges;
  • 1 lb. ground beef;
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped;
  • 2 green onions, sliced;
  • 2 bell pepper, chopped;
  • 1 onion, chopped;
  • 1 garlic clove, minced;
  • 1 tsp. chilli powder;
  • 1 tsp. paprika;
  • ½ tsp. ground cumin;
  • paleo cooking fat (bacon grease, coconut oil)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste;

  • Directions:
  • Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  • Combine the potato wedges in a bowl with some melted cooking fat, and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Place the wedges on a baking tray in a single layer, and roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until fries are crisp.
  • Preheat a skillet over a medium-high heat, and melt some cooking fat in it.
  • Add the garlic and onion to the skillet and cook a few minutes, until the onions are soft.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for about ten minutes (or until beef is browned).
  • Add the chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Give everything a nice stir and cook for a minute or two before removing from the heat.
  • Place the fries in a bowl and top with the taco meat, tomatoes, and bell pepper, and sprinkle some sliced green onion on top. (This is the kiddos favorite part, we put the toppings in small separate bowls and let them pick what they want and dress it up)
  • Serve with some homemade salsa or ketchup.

  • Enjoy!!

These little energy balls are the best!! First gather up these awesome ingredients! 2 cups quick oats 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I personally like the mini non-dairy ones the best) 2 tablespoons of chia seeds for added super health benefits 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 2/3 cup honey 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon salt Now we do this! 1. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, chocolate chips, chia seeds and coconut. 2. Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, salt. Mix well making sure everything is evenly mixed! 3. The HARDEST part of all you have to let them chill in the refrigerator for an hour, then roll out balls about an inch in diameter. 4. Store in an airtight container or in your belly  😝 😝 😝 If you are using containers - 2 balls roughly equals 1 yellow and 1 blue. They are an amazing little treat!!m Now excuse me while I try to ONLY eat two  😩
