I have been seeing plenty of custom printed shirts with really adorable quotes about tacos. Obviously, there seems to be a universal love and appreciation for how delicious tacos are, and paleo tacos are the way to go. These Paleo Tacos with beef chorizo and sweet potato or camote (Spanish for sweet potato) is yet another great recipe from the Garza family.
By using Siete’s delicious paleo tortillas you will be so happy to be eating very flavorful paleo tacos that taste like the real deal. No need to lettuce wrap everything and imagine it with a fluffy tortilla anymore.
I especially like their idea of the added “camote” in this recipe. Sweet potatoes are a great healthy starch and are so flavorful. I like their texture alongside the ground beef and it keeps me full longer.
