Beef Taco

The traditional taco poses a little challenge for rice/oat flour (I’ve never been able to make good tortillas at home with non-gluten flour). This recipe gets around that by using crumbled crackers underneath. It’s one of my favorite dishes and tops a fast-food taco any day!

For the bottom layer, you need about a quarter cup of crackers* per serving. Crumble them coarsely and toast them in a little oil and salt. Spread them evenly on each person’s plate.

Next is the beef. Fry ¼ c. chopped onion and add 1½ pounds of ground beef. Let it brown on high heat while you add:

1 t. cinnamon     1 t. cloves     2 t. Worcestershire sauce
1½ t. oregano    1½ t. basil     Pinch cayenne pepper     2 t. salsa

Add 2 stalks chopped celery and simmer on low til thickened and cooked through.

Taco Ingredients

Spread about ½ c. of beef over each serving of crackers.Top the tacos with grated cucumber or summer squash and shredded cheese. You can pop them in the oven for 5 minutes if you want the cheese melted.

*Basic cracker recipe:
                           ½ c. sifted  flour, 1 egg yolk, 4-6 T. water, ½ t. salt
                           Spread thinly on sheet, bake 8-10 minutes at 350
                           til crisp, and remove when cool.
