If I had to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life I would choose tacos 100% of the time. I really love tacos. Steak tacos. Chicken tacos. Fish tacos. Vegetarian tacos. I love them all. This is a recipe for a classic steak taco with a summery peach avocado salsa, roasted poblanos, and a lime sour cream drizzle. It’s a 30 minute meal that is easy to make for a crowd or just for your family on a busy weeknight.

Always choose grass fed beef. Why?

The Importance of Choosing Grass Fed Beef

Feedlots are crowded, unsanitary and a miserable life for the animal. Grass fed cows can roam the pasture and are not subject to standing in their own increment for long periods of time.
Antibiotics. Because of the unsanitary conditions of feedlots, conventional cows are frequently given broad spectrum antibiotics to keep them healthy until they reach mature size. In fact 80% of the antibiotics produced in the United States are given to farm animals. What is the problem with this? Well, the antibiotics are left in the animals waste which then gets into our soils and our water. So we end up getting them too. This contributes to antibiotic resistance in both animals as well as humans.
Grass fed beef builds soil with a balanced ecosystem while conventionally raised cows destroys it.
Grass fed beef is more nutrient dense. There is a healthier balance of fatty acids, higher levels of Omega-3s, CLA and carotenoids.

I know it’s more expensive but it is important that we are supporting the right farmers to build sustainability in our ecosystem while improving the life of the animal as well as ourselves. It has to come from us. Spend more for higher quality meat and eat less of it. That’s what we do to balance things out.
