BEEF BROCCOLI


Broccoli: First up is 12 oz of broccoli. You can use fresh or frozen — whatever is easier!
Water: 1/3 cup of water will be used to steam the broccoli to a nice, crunchy texture.
Avocado oil: Next, 2 tbsp of avocado oil will be used to cook the onions. This is a great oil to use as it’s a healthier option than vegetable or canola oil.
Onion: Use half of a small onion, and dice it into small pieces. I recommend yellow or white.
Ginger: Add some flavor to the dish by grating 2 tbsp of fresh ginger.
Garlic: Next, mince 5 cloves of garlic. If using garlic powder, you will need 1 1/4 tsp.
Steak: As for the beef, use 1 lb of flank steak.
Optional: Opionally serve over a bed of rice and top with sesame seeds for the perfect final touch!

Sauce
Soy sauce: The beef and broccoli sauce will start with a base consisting of 1/2 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce.
Honey: Sweeten things up a bit by including 2 tbsp of honey.
Sesame oil: Add 1 tsp of sesame oil to help achieve that signature beef and broccoli sauce flavor.
Arrowroot powder: Last but not least, 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder or cornstarch will thicken up the sauce.

Step 1
In a large pot over medium-high heat, place chicken. Pour broth over chicken to cover; generously season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium. Let simmer until chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast should register 165°), about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Shred chicken with 2 forks.

PROTEIN TACOS

Chicken: you can use boneless chicken thighs or skinless chicken breasts for this recipe! Chicken thighs will have a little more fat but make the most delicious, tender tacos! However, breast work perfectly fine! Just make sure whichever you use to try to make sure they are even thickness (you may need to pound the breasts) to ensure even cooking.

Olive oil: or your favorite cooking oil

Lime: I highly recommend using fresh lime juice for optimal flavor. The pre-juiced kind just doesn’t taste the same!

Tortillas: I used these street taco flour tortillas but any type of small tortilla will work. Corn tortillas, grain-free tortillas, low-carb tortillas, etc.

Homemade taco seasoning: follow my quick and easy recipe for the BEST homemade chicken taco seasoning! You’ll need chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, black pepper and dried oregano. This homemade seasoning only takes 5 minutes to make and is super cost effective. I love making my own seasonings so I can control the amount of salt (sodium) in it and I know there aren’t any filler ingredients. However, you can easily grab your favorite store packet to save time.

Optional toppings: feel free to get creative! Some classic taco toppings include: shredded lettuce, pickled red onions, sliced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream (or greek yogurt), salsa, pico de gallo, etc.
