Sesame beef tacos, with quick pickled veggies and chili sour cream 

1 serving prepared 

Here's what you get:

Radish 
Scallion 
Persian cucumber 
Cilantro 
Red cabbage 
Korean chili flakes 
Garlic powder 
White wine vinegar 
Sour cream 
Sesame oil  

Substituting:
5 oz Ground Bison
Baby level hot sriracha 
1/4 cup Rice
Tamari sauce 
Lime juice 

Not used:
Soy sauce 
Actual hot sriracha 
Flour tortilla 
Ground Beef 

The pickles:

Pickled veggies were very quick prep I would suggest adding the vinegar and sugar together and stirring them until the sugar dissolves. Once that was done I added the mixture to the sliced veggies and then did the salt/pepper. This prevents having granulated sugar dropping to the bottom of the bowl.

The protein:

I substituted the ground beef for bison in this recipe. Using 5 oz total. The cook on this was relatively easy. I was warned that the Sriracha sent in the pack was the much hotter version so I substituted it. Because I have a larger bottle of baby spicy sriracha I was able to add that to taste. 

The rice:

Since I can't have the flour tortillas I substituted for cilantro lime rice. This was the first thing I prepared and it was set to the side while I worked on the other portions of the meal. My ratio was 1/4 cup rice and 3/4 cup water, lime and cilantro to taste.

The sauce:

The sauce was very easy. You just take the sour cream, put some chili flakes in, add Salt and Pepper and you're done.

Extras:

To omit gluten product I had to switch out some components. The rice and tamari sauce were good substitutes for these items and I'm sure it didn't change the taste too much.

The plate:


Today I learned, I really like sriracha! I ended up using a good amount on this dish actually. The pickles were super good so all of those went into the bowl. 

The portion I made was rather large so there are leftovers. This is definitely one I would try again, maybe omitting the rice because the veggie meat mix along with the Pickled veggies were more than enough for one meal.

Sweet potato  Kale  Italian chicken sausage mix  Chili flake  Yellow onion  Italian seasoning  Chicken stock concentrate  Parmesan cheese  Not used: Demi baguette  The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through.  Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth.
