Even when you can't have tortillas, taco meat - using the description loosely - can come in handy for lots of things. Added to egg whites it makes a spicy egg dish. On a bed of lettuce, it's a kind of taco salad. Either works for cycle 1. In cycle 3 where you can actually have a whole wheat tortilla, it makes an excellent burrito,combined with grilled eggplant, squash and peppers. This is one of my many recipes using ground poultry breast. Ground or tenderized poultry takes seasoning very well.
- 2 lbs 99% lean turkey breast
- 1 cup minced garlic from pre minced jar Halve this if using fresh minced garlic.
- 1 large onion- chopped fine
- 2 tbsp cumin
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 cup chili powder*
- 2 tsp olive oil
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add onions and garlic stirring a lot. When slightly sautéed add the turkey salt and black pepper and brown completely. Add chili powder and cumin along with enough water to allow stirring and distribution of the spices. Simmer until the water mostly cooks off.
*the chili powder you use is up to you. In Colorado we have Mexican spices available at the grocery. I prefer the Chili Colorado - medium from the Mexican spices at the grocery. I recently discovered that the secret to a good red chile is to use way more of this stuff than I thought. I literally dump it in.
I love sour cream on almost everything spicy. Plain non-fat Greek yogurt tastes about the same as fat free sour cream but with a much nicer texture. Try it!
