Tex-Mex Burger Bowl (GAPS, paleo, gf)

If you’re looking for an easy dinner that whips up in no time, check out this tex-mex burger bowl. It’s easily adaptable to accommodate different dietary needs and has tons of flavour.

Ingredients you’ll need:

• ground beef or bison

• onion

• garlic

• green peppers

• chili powder

• cumin

• oregano

• salt and pepper

• tomato paste

• bacon (optional)

• cilantro, salsa, sour cream, guacamole or avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, shredded cheese, cumin sauerkraut, brown rice (all optional)

The topping options are endless. We added homemade sour cream (made it the same way we make yogurt), salsa, avocados, and shredded cheese, and a cumin flavoured sauerkraut. My pickiest child loved this dish and ate up all the leftovers when everyone else was tired of it.
