Whole Food, Corn Free Taco Bowls 3 Ways
Around here a simple, delicious meal becomes a staple meal. Taco Night happens virtually every week in our home and it has become a much loved favorite dinner.
I shared my Organic, Gluten, Dairy and Refined Sugar Free Bulk Taco Seasoning with you which makes having taco night perfect for those days that are absolutely insane with to-dos. My bulk taco seasoning recipe will make your taco night even simpler.
Who Says Tacos Have to be in a Corn Shell?
We like to spice up the way we enjoy tacos around here! As much as possible, we try to stay away from corn. The reason is that it is a grain that is very hard to digest. For those with intestinal permeability, eczema, allergies and autoimmunity, corn tops the list of trigger foods that cause and fuel the fire with these health problems. The other problematic factor with corn is that most of it is GMO. You can learn about GMO’s here.
Even while staying away from corn, there are so many ways to serve tacos. Of course, we always have the foundation as taco meat, which for us is always grass-fed, organic ground beef with my Organic Bulk Taco Seasoning.
My Family Enjoys Taco Night Four Different Ways
Taco salads are a great choice because of all the nutrient-rich vegetables that can be added. If I’m feeling really ambitious and happen to have more time that evening because it’s not a busy mom night, then I will fry up my own sweet potato chips in organic coconut oil and serve the meal nacho style. Sometimes I use the chips linked below to make it quick too. Taco shells are a winner, but again, they don’t have to be corn. You can see my full list of corn-free options for tacos below.

Make your own Grain-Free Crepes
Butter Lettuce Cups or Collard Greens
{For Nachos} Inka Plantain Chips or Jackson’s Honest Sweet Potato Chips
One of the quickest ways to serve tacos is in a bowl. Honestly, that is my go-to more often than not. Taco bowls can be served in a variety of ways.
