Ingredients
1 lb Grass-fed Ground Beef or Turkey
2 tbsp Organic Taco Seasoning (Cumin, Chili, Garlic)
6–8 large Grain-free or Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 cup Bell Peppers, finely diced
1/2 cup Red Onion, minced
1/2 cup Black Beans (soaked and rinsed)
1/2 cup Shredded Grass-fed Cheddar or Nut Cheese
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced red onion and diced bell peppers, sautéing until they become soft and translucent
- Add your choice of grass-fed beef or turkey to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a wooden spoon and cook until it is no longer pink
- Sprinkle the organic taco seasoning over the meat and vegetables. Stir in the black beans and a splash of filtered water. Simmer the mixture for five minutes
- Lightly grease a skull-shaped baking pan with a small amount of avocado oil. Cut your tortillas into shapes that fit the cavities of the mold. Gently press the tortillas into the skull indentations
- Spoon the savory filling into each tortilla-lined mold. Top with shredded cheese
- Place the pan in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted
- Allow the pan to sit for five minutes before gently removing the Monster Taco Skulls
Notes
Use a high-quality non-stick skull mold to ensure easy release.
To make tortillas pliable, wrap them in a damp cloth and microwave for ten seconds.
