Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 pound ground grass-fed beef
2 carrots, grated
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon mild chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup water
12 corn taco shells
2 cups kale leaves sliced into thin strips
1 cup shredded cheddar or pepper Jack cheese (organic if possible)
12 teaspoons jarred salsa

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 °F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the beef, carrots, and garlic. Sprinkle with the salt. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat begins to brown and the vegetables soften. Add the chili powder, cumin, and tomato paste. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the spices become fragrant. Add the water, reduce the heat, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink in the center.
Meanwhile, place the taco shells in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes to warm them (or warm them in the toaster oven). Assemble each taco by spooning in 2 tablespoons of the meat and some of the kale and cheese into each shell. Top each taco with 1 teaspoon salsa and serve immediately.
