Paleo Main Dishes Recipes

The kids and Tyrone started school this week so I spent A LOT of time in the kitchen.  Cooking really is a ministry…sounds like the title of a future blogpost.   Below are recipes for the top three dishes of the week.

I made Picadillo Tacos this week and they were absolutely delicious.  This songstress came by when I was cooking and she agreed that they were delicious.  Below is the recipe.

 

Picadillo Tacos (I got this recipe from PaleOMG).

Prep time

Cook time

40 mins

Total time

45 mins

 

Serves: 3

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ white onion, diced
• ½ green bell pepper, diced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• ⅔ cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• ⅓ cup green olives, halved
• ⅓ cup raisins (optional*)
• 6 Must B Nutty tortillas
• roughly chopped cilantro, to garnish
• lime wedges, to garnish

 

Instructions

1. Place a large cast iron skilletover medium heat, add ground beef to brown and break into pieces.
2. Once almost cooked through, add onion, bell pepper, oregano, cumin, bay leaf and salt and pepper. Mix well to combine and let cook for about 10 minutes.
3. Then add tomato sauce, tomato paste, broth, vinegar, olives and raisins (if you are using raisins), mix well then cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. To soften must b nutty tortillas, place on hot skillet or on gas range to brown on both sides. Remove bay leaf, then add picadillo to tortillas, squeeze fresh lime juice on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Note:  I did not use the tortillas she recommended.  I used this plantain bread recipe as the shell and it worked out great!

 

I also made these spicy tuna cakes from Nom Nom Paleo.  These work great for breakfast or after school snack.

The final recipe I would like to share is slow cooker Korean beef short ribs from Nom Paleo.  I have made these quite a few times and they are always enjoyed by all.

Enjoy!
