Taco Meat Recipe

A taco meat recipe is one of the printable low glycemic index recipes we offer here. There are a variety of different ways to use a taco meat recipe in a low glycemic meal. As long as you use sprouted,wheat tortillas for tacos you can eat them and stay within the low glycemic guidelines. A good brand is Ezekiel which I purchase from a natural foods store but you may find other brands in your area. Just make sure the label says "sprouted wheat." You can also use taco meat in a taco salad, in tacos, over beans and topped with salsa or as a sloppy joe on top of low glycemic bread. A Mexican food recipe is usually low glycemic when you eliminate the corn.

NOTE: Instead of this last ingredient you may also use a product called El Pato Salsa de Chile Fresco. You can find it in the Spanish/Mexican food isle at any grocery store. Add a little to taste to be sure it's not too spicy for you. I use 1/2 cup instead of the hot pepper sauce.

In a large skillet cook meat, onion and garlic until the meat is brown and the onion is tender. Drain the fat. Stir in chili peppers, chili powder, the El Pato salsa or hot pepper sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Heat through.

Now you can add this wonderful taco meat recipe to a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, a little grated chedder cheese and whatever raw vegies you like. Some suggestions are chopped red or yellow bell pepper, some grated zuchinni or even chopped or grated carrots. Any low glycemic vegie you like that is low glycemic and would go well in a Mexican food recipe.

NOTE: There is another tortilla that is low glycemic made by Alvarado Farms. If you cannot find these in your area you can order them on the internet. They are worth making the extra effort! Stock up because you can freeze them.
