Taco Salad – easy low carb
Posted on December 17th, 2009 by craighopeThis isn’t really a recipe, but simply a way to transform your favorite Mexican feast into many low carb (reheatable) meals for those families on the run.
Here is wha
t my wife and I do. We brown 3 lbs of ground beef and season with 3 packets of taco seasoning (your choice). We don’t eat this entire batch for a family of four on the first night. We will throw in the fridge and eat many leftovers.
Other ingredients for Taco Salad
- Lettuce, shredded (you can even buy the bags if you are in a hurry)
- Black Beans (canned of course)
- Chopped Tomatoes
- Black Olives
- Shredded cheese of your choice (Monterrey is good, Pepper Jack is good, but anything will work depending on your taste)
- If you have time, makes some Guacamole. Guac doesn’t keep well thus not very utilitarian for the work week.
Pile up on plates and eat.
Important note here: No chips, no tortillas, no shells. You can have some around for the kids.
If your brain requires the taco experience, you can use large leaves of lettuce to act as a taco shell.
