Hey friends! I’ve had a couple people reach out to me about how to make my favorite tacos so I’m going to post the recipe here! It’s seriously the easiest meal EVER and it’s amazing. I get requests from both Chad and Cooper for this exact meal a couple times a week (and if you know my boys, you know that’s saying something – because Chad is usually leary of some of my “healthy weird foods” and Cooper NEVER eats what we eat – unless it’s pizza).
So, quick explanation – I am 90% (I mean.. that number might be made up but you get the idea) Gluten Free and Dairy Free. So I make a lot of paleo-friendly meals because that always works with what I can eat. I do make exceptions for this – pizza is life, after all. (Although I do have a pretty bomb cauliflower crust pizza recipe).
Anywho. You can tailor this to fit your dietary likes, but this is how I make mine:
Paleo Friendly Tacos
Description
The best paleo-ish tacos!
You can also add any other ingredients: fresh diced tomatoes, cheese (the boys add cheese to theirs), etc. It’s seriously the easiest meal, and takes VERY LITTLE work.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breasts (I get the Just Bare brand from HyVee)
- 1 Sweet Potato (diced)
- 1 Green and 1 Yellow Zucchini (diced)
- 1 Onion (diced)
- Shredded lettuce (I buy mine already cut up in the bag)
- 1 Bag of frozen sweet corn steamer (I know this isn’t Paleo but I’m also pretty sure the cavemen weren’t eating tacos at all back in their era so it’s cool)
- Guac (there’s an organic brand at HyVee in the health market that is
?) - Salsa
- Siete Foods Tortillas (they’re grain-free paleo friendly, and absolutely positively delicious) (I included the link if you want to order a sample pack of all their flavor options. I literally love all of them!)
- Diced peppers – I usually also add diced peppers to my veggie mix but I forgot to get them at the grocery store this trip
Instructions
- I throw the chicken breasts in the crockpot before I leave my house in the morning, and sprinkle with both garlic salt and onion powder and about 1/2 cup of water. Cook on low for 8 hours.
- Once the chicken is done, I shred with two forks and let it sit on Keep Warm while I cook everything else.
- Dice up your sweet potato and veggies, and sauté with olive oil, garlic salt, and veggie seasoning over medium heat until soft (I like to char mine a little) **this is also where you’d add the diced peppers that I forgot
- Steam your corn in the microwave while your veggies are cooking
- Warm up your amazing shells
- Put together those tacos and EAT until you have to be rolled out of the kitchen
Here is another of my favorite taco variations: Healthy Chicken Tacos.
