Tacos I Have To Share

[Pickletoe]

Someone gave me this recipe, and it was so good I kept stopping to count the carbs in my head because it tasted like I was cheating, lol. Its for taco's, and it is the best, IMO.

Desired amount of ground hamburger. I usually make a soup bowl full amount.

4 tbsp of Pace salsa, medium or hot. Mild is too weak, it will lose spiciness as it cooks. Must be Pace, which is the only salsa that tastes right for this and doesn't have sugar added; carb free.

2 ounces cheese

2 tbsp sour cream

diced tomato

Large lettuce leafs

Put cooked meat in pan, add salsa, cook to hot. Remove, place in a large, thicker lettuce leaf, cover with cheese, sour cream, and tomato.

The lettuce leaf crunches like a taco, very good.

Salsa = 0 carbs
Sour cream = 4 carbs
Tomato = depends on amount, small tomato has 3 carbs
Cheese = depends on amount
Lettuce = almost none

Enjoy

Re: Tacos I Have To Share

Salsa has carbs--it's made from vegetables. Make sure you count them in your totals.

Taco seasoning is usually made with sugar, so I don't use it. Mixing salsa in tastes better than I thought it would; it honesty tastes REALLY good. Mixing some hot spices into it might make it more to your liking

The Pace salsa doesn't have any sugar, so the only carbs are from veggies, and it equals less than 1g per two tablespoons. I wasn't sure how to add it, since its less than 1g, but I don't know how much less.

Linda's Low Carb site has a "recipe" for taco seasoning. For one pound of ground beef, combine the following:
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder
pinch of cayenne pepper
