Low carb recipe for ya!

Gotta hankering for mexican food?

Find some canned black soybeans. I got mine at the healthfood store...not all that expensive even.

Get yourself some low carb tortillas...

Take out 1/2 cup of the beans and warm them up in the microwave.

Take the tortilla, butter one side and put it in a skillet butter side down, put an ounce of shredded chedder cheese in it and fold it over. Fry it till slightly brown.

Place the cheesy torilla on top of the beans and add a scoop of sour cream and a tablespoon of picante. Mmmmm!

Net carbs..

Tortilla=4g
Black soybeans =1g
Cheese= .5g
Sour Cream=1g
Picante sauce 1g

Can add grilled chicken or steak slices to it, I bet and it would taste great...but I just ate it this way and it was fantastic.

Sounds good!

I haven't found a low-carb tortilla I like yet. Some are edible but give me stomach trouble afterwards. I eat my tacos wrapped in big romaine leaves. It's almost as good.

Sounds good...might look into the black soybeans. I've heard they're tasty! Though...I can have real beans and whole wheat tortillas.

Like I said...South Beach isn't really low carb. It's just low processed carb...or really, processed carb free, unless you count grinding grain as processing.

Speaking of grinding, I just made a bunch of almond flour! Gonna try those pancakes one of these days. I do like the flax pancakes, though, now that I've found a recipe I like. I have 'em once a week or so.

Thanks for the recipe! :) I eat tortillas with hot salsa a lot, maybe I'll try that instead one of these times.
