The Muscle Taco

Here’s the ingredients…

(1) 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef (mince)

(2) 2 teaspoons taco seasoning

(3) 1/2 bell pepper in strips or diced

(4) 2 tablespoons salsa

(5) 2 cups loosely packed lettuce (romaine)

(6) 1 cup diced tomato

(7) 1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheese of your cheese

(8) 2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

(9) Large Wholewheat tortilla wrap (optional)

Cooking

  • Brown beef in frying pan
  • Add taco seasoning
  • Add sliced pepper and 1 tablespoon salsa
  • Cook until peppers are al dente (soft on outside, still a little hard on inside)

Serving

  • Arrange your lettuce and tomatoes on a plate OR…
  • Arrange your lettuce and tomatoes in a wholemeal tortilla
  • Spoon on your taco mixture from the frying pan
  • Now add your cheese, sour cream, and the other tablespoon of salsa
  • Wrap it all up if using a tortilla

Whether or not you opt for the wrapped version is up to you. Perhaps you’ve used most of your GL allowance for the day and are still feeling a bit peckish, omit the tortilla in that case.

But you really can’t go wrong here. You get taste, protein, and low impact on your blood sugar.

This sounds really good & I'm gonna give this a try
