Ground Beef Stir-Fry

Sure, you can put it in a taco, but Brazilians consider this a perfect stand-alone protein alongside rice or mashed potatoes.

This is a recipe from my Brazilian Nutritionist Carla Faedo for a perfect ground beef stirfry, to be eaten just like that. I know you are thinking “that is a lot of ingredients” but trust! I love Carla’s recipes because they include so many superfoods.
