Low Carb Taco Salad

After making the Low Carb Crunchwrap Supreme recipe I had a bunch of left over ingredients so I figured I would use those left overs to make a Low Carb Taco Salad.  Very simple, easy to make and super delicious.  Please give it a try and let me know what you think.  Note: Ingredients are the same for the Crunchwrap Supreme recipe and same goes for making the ground meat mixture.

Preparation Time: 15 mins 
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2 - 3
About 4 net carbs per serving

Ingredients

​

​Beef Mixture:

  • 1 ground beef (NOTE:  you can substitute beef for chicken, lamb.  For vegan/vegetarians feel free to use tofu or beyond meat)

  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon of low carb sugar (or just plain sugar)

  • 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder

  • Salt/Pepper for taste

​​​

Other Ingredients:

  • 1 low carb flat bread (NOTE: See link where you can purchase this online.  If you are unable to get this type of bread, or would prefer to not do low carb, you can substitute for flour tortillas instead 

    • Joseph's Bakery Low Carb Pita, Lavash, and Tortilla Wrap Breads (thelowcarbgrocery.com) 

  • 2 cups of shredded lettuce

  • 1 cup of sour cream (or alternatively you can use salsa or guacamole)

  • 1 cup of chopped tomatoes

  • 1 & 1/2 cup of shredded cheese of your choice (I used marble cheese)

  • 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable or canola oil

​

Instructions

​

  1. Cook ground beef in a frying pan over medium heat.  Make sure to add all spices and seasoning from the ground beef mixture listed above. 

  2. While it is cooking you will need to break up the meat with either a wooded spoon or spatula until it is no longer pink and thoroughly cooked.   Should take about 10 minutes (NOTE: for vegan/vegetarian options please read package directions on how to properly cook the meat alternatives). 

  3. Once done please drain fat and wipe the frying pan clean to be used later.

  4. Next cut up the flat bread into strips that are about 2 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width

  5. Add oil to the frying pan on medium to high heat and cook the strips for about 45 seconds, then flip them over and cook for another 45 seconds.  You'll know they are done when they are golden brown.  NOTE: Please adjust your cooking time accordingly as it could take more or less time.  Also please be careful not to over cook as the strips could easily turn black and start to burn.

  6. Once done, place the strips on a paper towel.

  7. In a serving bowl, first add the shredded lettuce, then chopped tomatoes, followed by shredded cheese.  Next add your beef mixture and the flat bread strips.

  8. Top with sour cream (and/or salsa/guacamole), combine it all together and Enjoy!  You can also add sliced avocado and garnish with cilantro if you'd like but is not necessary.
