Paleo Beef Tostadas

Crispy tortillas paired with perfectly seasoned ground beef, a creamy avocado aioli and fresh vegetables.

Mexican food has always been a favorite of mine. There is always something new to discover. The flavors, textures, and ingredients are so warm and inviting. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Now, of course, you know I’ve been raving about Primal Palate’s new Party Pack seasoning mixes. The taco and fajita seasoning mix combines all the flavors of Mexican cuisine in one delicious seasoning pack.

I hear taco seasoning, and of course, I had to make some tostadas! Tostadas and tacos are always a hit or miss for me. Anyone can “make” a taco or tostada. They usually require the same ingredients: beef, a pack of taco seasoning packed with a lot of BS you can’t pronounce, tortillas, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. But my twist on the classic tostada is a bit sophisticated but still incredibly simple and delicious.

PALEO BEEF TOSTADAS

Let’s start with the tortillas. To keep these tostadas paleo, I’ve decided to use Grain-free tortillas. But, you can use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas. Now, instead of deep frying my tortillas, I lightly brush them grass-fed ghee and crisp them up in the oven. This way, I’m eliminating a lot of extra fat. The tortillas come out crispy, and perfectly in tact ready to handle all the delicious toppings.

Apart from the flavor-packed taco seasoning mix, I needed something else to tie everything together. So, I decided to throw together a simply avocado aioli with only 3 staple ingredients you already have in your fridge. The aioli is creamy, a little tangy and very fresh. Its the perfect way to compliment the warm spices from the meat.

This dish comes together so quickly, but the flavors and presentation will impress the whole family.

Have you tried my Instant Pot Taco Meat? It is also a great base for this recipe.
