Pumpkin is amazing for:
From this moment forward ALWAYS add pumpkin to your taco meat and chili. It sounds crazy, but once you do it, you’ll wonder how you ever did without. Total game changer. When it comes to tacos, pumpkin gives ground meat the creamy texture we most readily associate with restaurant tacos. But instead of unhealthy chemicals creating the texture and taste, it’s all natural pumpkin. Too boot pumpkin provides loads of fiber, vitamin A, magnesium and potassium. You officially know the best secret health and beauty weapon around. Ingredients 1 Pound Lean, Ground Meat (Vegans/Vegetarians use black bean recipe) 1 15 oz. Can Pumpkin Puree – I recommend going with Libby’s 1 15 oz. Can/Jar Stewed Tomatoes, No Sodium Added 1 tsp. Coriander 1 tsp. Cumin 1 tsp. Chili Powder ½ tsp. Paprika ¼ tsp. Garlic Powder ¼ tsp. Cinnamon – Yes. Seriously. ¼ tsp. Black Pepper 1 Clove Chopped garlic ½ Cup Chopped Onion Taco shells of choice Taco Fixings Here's the thing about tacos - you can put whatever toppings you really want on them. To make them as filling and healthy as possible, strive to have the top 2/3 of each taco filled with produce. This includes salsa as it is produce in disguise. As for the sour cream and/or cheese then goes on top of the produce layer. Not much will physically stay up top though... and that's the point. Your dairy acts as flavor not the majority of the dish. Since you're using a small amount you can totally opt for the organic, full fat dairy products and while saving calories and money. Recommendations Romaine Lettuce Spinach Tomatoes Black Olives Cucumbers Avocado Sour Cream Cheese – Not preshredded, as it tends to be coated in chemicals, which is not good. Instructions
