Taco Meat on Coconut Wrap

This recipe is easy to prepare, versatile and rich in nutrients, and absolutely delish. It is by far a favorite of mine and a go-to for red meat. A few ounces of this meat recipe will add fantastic flavor for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Quality of your animal protein you choose is essential to health and flavor is a key to building sustainable eating habits.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef, grass-fed
3 tbsp tomato paste best if organic and comes in a glass jar
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 tbsp coconut milk, full fat
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp Himalayan or Celtic sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp turmeric

Instructions

Combine and mix all of the spices, except for the parsley, in a cup or small bowl.
Add the beef, tomato paste, and spices to the Crockpot. Use a spoon to mix up the spices and break up the meat. I prefer using my hands to mix all up.
Pour coconut milk on top of the meat.
Cook on Crockpot on low for 4 hours.
Break up the meat some more.
Add the fresh parsley, mix up, and cook on low for another 30 minutes. This step is not necessary, but it adds an extra flavor.
Remove the meat from the Crockpot to serve and/or freeze.

Recipe Notes

Extra Awesomeness:

Double the quantities and save time—freeze or have for left over if you are feeding multiple mouths.
Do not be afraid of mixing different kinds of animal protein. I have mixed up beef with lamb, beef with chicken, beef with turkey, and chicken and turkey. It has yet to disappoint me 🙂
I use compartment food storage containers to freeze servings of 3 ounces. This step will add to your prep time, but you will rip benefits later. I keep my freezer stocked with weighted cooked meats ready to go.

Smart Food Facts: Why grass-fed meat? Grass-fed meats contain greater amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (“CLA”), vitamin A and E, and Omega 3 (“O3”) fatty acids—the anti-inflammatory type! Fats are not all created equal. The average American consumes 20 times more Omega 6, the inflammatory fatty acid type, than that of O3. Cows that eat a natural diet and grasses only, are hormones and antibiotics free compared to those that are grain-fed. I encourage you to reduce the consumption of foods and beverages sourced from grain-fed animals. Too expensive? Smart budgetary trade-offs, simple cuts like ground beef, bulk purchase, and more plant-based protein are good practices to get you started. Take small steps to reduce intake of ‘junk’ from the outside. You will improve your energy and overall health. Choose wisely!
