Ingredients

  • ½ lb ground beef
  • ½ onion diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste omit pepper for AIP
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 large sweet potato diced
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro
  • Juice of half a lime
  • 8 grain-free tortillas I use Siete almond tortillas, see notes for AIP
  • Avocado oil spray
  • Toppings of choice
  • Diced red onion
  • Cilantro
  • Cilantro avocado sauce
  • Fresh lime juice
  • etc.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Preheat a large skillet and add the ground beef, onion, and season with salt and pepper. Crumble the ground beef until browned. Set aside.
  • Using the same pan, heat the avocado oil and saute the sweet potato for 8-10 minutes or until fork tender. Add the ground beef back to the pan and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, fresh cilantro, and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  • Heat the tortillas for about 5-10 seconds to make them more pliable. Spoon about 2 spoonfuls of the beef and sweet potato mixture. Roll into a tight taquito and transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with all of the tortillas. Spray with avocado oil spray.
  • Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until crisp (see notes for air fryer instructions)
  • Serve warm topped with toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • For AIP, use homemade tortillas or 4 Siete burrito-sized tortillas that are halved. These are available in stores. 
  • To make in the air fryer cook at 370 for 6-8 minutes or until crisped to your liking.
  • All nutritional information are estimations and will vary. Estimations do not include optional ingredients.
