Beef Taco Bowls

Beef Taco Bowls

I started thinking about other recipes I could deconstruct then sneak some coleslaw into, and tacos immediately came to mind. Beef Taco Bowls are killing it in the healthy and delicious department!

Healthy, easy, fast, flavorful – what more could you ask for?

Maybe you’re wondering what the coleslaw tastes like sauteed with ground beef. Awesome, in fact! Since it’s just lightly sauteed, then coleslaw keeps a nice deep crunch which mimics a corn tortilla – you’ll never miss it. The flavor is also very mild so the savory taco seasoning blend is what really shines. 

Saute these bad boys up tonight then top with guacamole (just ripe avocados mashed with fresh garlic, lime juice, and salt,) and green onions like I did, adding shredded cheese, salsa, and sour cream, if you like!
