For the taco seasoning mix:

Instructions

  1. Mix all the taco seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. For the tacos, preheat a large pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onions, peppers, mushrooms, celery, along with ½ teaspoon salt and a couple cracks of pepper, cook for 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Add the beef, taco seasoning mix, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and raise the heat to medium-high.

    Break up the beef well and cook until the meat is almost cooked through, add the bone broth, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until thick and saucy. Check for seasoning, you may need more salt and set aside.

  2. Make the slaw by adding the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and pepitas to a large bowl and season with a pinch of salt and a couple cracks of pepper. Add the mayo, lime juice and mix well and check for seasoning. You may need more mayo or lime juice.

  3. Toast the tortillas or warm in the oven, place some slaw in the tortilla and top with the beef mixture. Enjoy!
