Taco Taco!!!

Hello all!
I just wanat to share a great book that has so much good stuff in it regarding diet and health and just cool stuff about life in general and how to live it the best…
Please check out Tim Ferris’ book “The 4 Hour Body”
Now because I am reading this and have been really trying a lot of new things diet wise, he recommends the Slow Carb Diet which I am all for… and of course he loves Mexican food with all the beans as the “slow carb” which I love also…
So last nite I made tacos.
Now I think everyone knows how to make tacos, but most people buy the seasoning packet from the store and I think you all know by now that I can’t stand pre-packaged junk!
So I season my meat myself and let me tell you it is SO much tastier–I think so anyway!

So here we go…
Brown your meat (ground beef, turkey or chicken) drain excess grease…
and generously add the following spices…

Cumin, Coriander, White Pepper, Fresh Ground Pepper, Chili Powder, Paprika, Basil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Salt…add a little olive oil to moisten it all and make spices all stick!
(this is the quickie version… or you can chop up fresh basil, garlic and onion which I do when I have more time.)
Then go about your regular taco making…
make all your bowls of chopped lettuce and tomatoes and shredded cheese and sour cream and i like to have some beans refried or black beans or both like I did last nite!

I like to start with the refried beans on the bottom… it makes eerything stick better!
Then I put in my wonderfully seasoned meat then the black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream then I top with the cheese! Yum.
Fresh, yummy and healthy too!

Then if there are leftovers I save for the next day and make a big taco saled with whatever is left. I just add a little bit of Salsa with the sour cream to make a little more of a “dressing”.

Well, I hope you enjoy, Taco Salads and tacos and burritos… are truly one of my faorite foods expecially in the summer…

Until tomorrow!!!
Peace, Love and Happiness!
