Lunch Idea

There are several brands of low carb tortillas which I found in my local supermarkets.  You just have to look for them.  They range somewhere around 5 or 6 carbs each.  One is enough for me at lunchtime.  This week, I pre-browned ground beef and drained off the grease.  It sits in a covered casserole in the refrigerator, seasoned with chili, cumin, and any other Mexican seasoning you like.

When I want a quick lunch, I spread a little salsa on a tortilla, place some of the ground beef mixture on top, add some grated sharp cheddar cheese, roll up the tortilla; brush on a little vegetable oil and bake in a 350 degree oven for twenty minutes.

If you are in to balanced meals, add a small green salad with low carb dressing.  Again, you'd be surprised to see how many 2 carb per serving dressings are on the supermarket shelves.  Take your reading glasses along and read labels!
