Healthy Pipin Tacos Recipe

	Ilovefood2 / All my dishes 7 months ago Tacos made with turkey meat instead of ground beef. The addition of pumpkin seeds gives it a strong nutty flavor. The sauce gives the tacos a vinegary-hot flavor. Prep:60m Cook:30m Servings:8	Ilovefood2

Ingredients

Tortillas

Filling:

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 pound lean ground beef

1 small onion, chopped

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 small tomato, seeded and chopped

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons sherry vinegar ( or red-wine vinegar)

2 cups diced, cooked potatoes

salt, to taste

2 scallions (white part only), chopped

1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

Sauce:

5 scallions, chopped

1 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

1/2 cup distilled white vinegar

1/4 cup lime juice

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

Prepare Filling: Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add pumpkin seeds and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender or spice mill and grind to a fine powder. Cook ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Add onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic; cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in tomato, cumin, broth, vinegar, potatoes, salt, ground pumpkin seeds and the beef. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes to intensify flavors and reduce liquid. Fold in scallions and hard-boiled egg.

Prepare Sauce: Combine scallions, chiles, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice and salt in a small bowl.

Assemble: Scoop filling into individual tortillas, add sauce on top, and enjoy.
