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.

Cheese tortilla party

Making:  Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder  30 Grams butter powder  419 grams hot water  Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked.  Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form.  The plate! - Kris
