Let’s make some tacos! In this recipe succulent beef is seasoned & cooked with coconut milk & Thai red curry paste. In soft taco shells (gluten free corn or flour) layer in a crisp bed of lettuce, chunks of creamy avocado & diced green onion. I told you ~ a blissful combo!

8 six inch corn (gluten-free) or flour tortillas
2 cups shredded lettuce
1 avocado, diced & tossed in lemon juice (to prevent browning)
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
1
Add coconut oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions & garlic for a few minutes until fragrant & softened. Increase heat to medium-high, add steak. Let it brown about 4 minutes, toss with tongs a few times to brown each side. Add coconut milk, red curry paste & salt to the pan.
2
Combine everything well. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes and the sauce will thicken.

Assemble the tacos. Lay tortillas out, top with lettuce, steak, avocado & green onion. Serve immediately. If there is extra sauce in the pan be sure to spoon some on top!
