Paleo Ground Turkey Tacos with Plantain Shells

Taco night gets a serious upgrade when the shells are made from smashed, oven-crisped green plantain rounds instead of anything grain-based. They come out golden at the edges with just enough chew to hold a generous scoop of filling without falling apart — honestly better than most store-bought options. The turkey filling is where things get really interesting: turmeric, ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and coconut aminos build a warm, layered flavor that feels far more complex than a standard taco seasoning packet. A splash of apple cider vinegar and bone broth tie everything together into a filling that's deeply savory and just a little tangy. Piling on creamy avocado slices, crisp shredded cabbage, and fresh cilantro adds cool contrast to all that spiced warmth. A squeeze of lime over the top right before eating pulls every element into focus. This is the kind of meal that makes eating without grains or legumes feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise.
