Forget the bun! Serve your next steak sandwich with crispy plantains "buns."
Ingredients:
- 1 Pre New York Strip Steak
- 2 large green plantains
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (no sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Chipotle Lime Mayo (Primal Kitchens)
- 1-2 small tomatoes, sliced
- ¼ red onion, sliced
- ⅓ avocado, sliced
