Taco Night w/ Homemade Tortillas


I did the P90X Plyometrics workout this morning for the first time! It was intense. I really enjoyed it. It feels so good to really sweat and breath hard every now and then. You really can feel your muscles changing and burning calories. This workout will make you do just that!

Last night I made tacos, something we have very often around here! We love these especially with our homemade whole wheat flour tortillas. About once a week me and the hubby make tortillas and use them for tacos or burritos. It is fun to do and they taste so yummy and fresh!

Tacos

1 lb. ground meat (I like grass fed beef)
1-3 Tbsp. taco seasoning mix
Shredded lettuce
Chopped tomatoes
Chopped red onion
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream (Check those ingredients! Should only be cream and cultures. Even some organic brands will add unnecessary fillers!)
Smashed Avocado with splash of lime juice
Salsa
Whole Wheat Tortillas (recipe below)

On the side we had cooked brown rice with pinto beans, and a little more cheese. So simple but so much flavor and very satisfying.

Whole Wheat Tortillas

2 cups whole wheat flour (grind your own!  Its cheaper and healthier)
1/8 tsp. baking powder (Look for Non-GMO and aluminum free.  Or make your own!)
1/2 tsp. real salt
Sift together. Then add:

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. warm water
1/8 cup oil (I like coconut or olive oil)

Stir until well blended. Let rest for 5 minutes. Roll out into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Roll out flat (no additional flour is required) and place on HOT griddle for about 30 seconds on each side. Store in refrigerator up to one week or freeze!

No preservatives, no hydrogenated oil!!

  2. They were a side dish! Looks like they are right on top though. Yes, love brussel sprouts. I sauteed them in EVOO and crushed garlic and onions...real good texture.
