Follow this recipe to make a pre/post natal taco bowl full of nutrients, whether you are a future and/or current mama or dad.

Here is my go-to lunch or dinner that I make 1 to 2 times per week. This is an amazing homemade taco bowl to support pre/post natal mama. It is packed full of essential nutrients for any woman or man, especially if you are wanting to become pregnant, currently pregnant, or are postpartum, or postpartum and breastfeeding. This is equally as important for the male since the health of the baby is also influenced by him.

This recipe is amazing because you can get very creative with toppings. I love to add in a variety of different vegetables when I have things that I do not want to go to waste.

In this recipe, for the protein source, I am using a ground beef or bison with an ancestral blend (ground liver, heart and kidney), which is why it is so nutrient dense for pre/post natal women. You are more than welcome to substitute other protein sources.

I use a homemade taco seasoning recipe that your can make and store the extras for the next time you make taco meat. The other main component to this taco bowl is a carbohydrate source. The topping choices are endless and can be varied based on what you have on hand or what you most enjoy.

You can find all the recipes for the taco seasoning, taco meat, and jasmine rice, and toppings down below.

Recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning

Recipe for Taco Meat

Ingredients

• 1lb of ancestral ground beef or ancestral ground bison
• 3 Tablespoons of taco seasoning (recipe above)
• 1/2 to 1 whole lime, juiced (optional)

Directions

1. Cook meat on medium/high heat until thoroughly cooked.
2. Add taco seasoning, and a splash of water to make it a bit more moist.
3. Add lime juice to taste if desired.

Recipe for Jasmine Rice

Ingredients

• 1 cup jasmine rice (rinsed)
• 1 3/4 cup filtered water
• 1 tablespoon ghee or grass-fed butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Combine white rice and filtered water into pan.
2. Add ghee or grass-fed butter and salt.
3. Bring to boil.
4. Then reduce heat to low/simmer and cover for 20 minutes.

If you do not have or do not want to use rice as your carbohydrate base, I like to substitute black beans, sweet potato, or sliced banana (as funny as that may seem).

Toppings

These are the main toppings I normally have on hand, but get creative and test out some new colors and flavors. Here is your chance to add in more nutrient dense foods, like other healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, etc.

• Fresh tomatoes, diced
• Fresh onion, chopped
• Grass-fed raw shredded cheese
• Avocado
• Greek yogurt (sub sour cream)
• Sriracha or Kimchi
• Shredded Carrot
• Shredded Cabbage

Here are some other toppings that I have used that add some variety and character to my taco bowls.

• Shredded zucchini
• Cooked green beans
• Cottage Cheese
• Bell peppers (raw or cooked)
• Chia seeds
• Olives

The sky is the limit when it comes to everyone’s taste buds and goods/produce.
