Most days I make myself quick meals. When I have extra time, and the ambition, I do make something more for guests or for myself, to freeze for future easy meals, and homemade taco meat is one of those things. For my taco meat I don’t use the chemical laden packets, I use my own few seasonings and I cook it for a half hour with my homemade beef bone broth, so it a balance meat. I then portion it out and freeze it. I use my taco meat many different ways, from to stuffed roasted jalapenos to cheesy pork rind nachos, and this yummy meal I thought up! I just fried an egg, put it on top of cottage cheese, with a couple of tablespoons of warmed taco meat and topped it with a good “Mom & Pop’ restaurant taco sauce! I am going to post my homemade bone broth made enchilada sauce and taco meat recipe sooner than later. The enchilada sauce would be perfect on this. This is something that I would eat if I were wanting to lose weight, but it would be for lunch only and I would use a low-fat cottage cheese. Have a spoonful of raw honey before having this and it is a perfectly balanced meal!
Hi Cari, if I’m weighing 185 lbs, how many eggs and spoonfuls of beef could I get away with having? Also I love your meals btw. Thank you.
If you are working a physical job I wouldn’t worry too much about the how much. If you make your taco meat with a lean ground beef and the cottage cheese low-fat you should be fine. Eat what you need to feel satisfied, but not stuffed. Just focus on pairings like this and keep the meat out of the evenings, and no starches! Between the eggs and the ground beef there is a lot of sleepy tryptophan in this meal, so making your taco meat with some bone broth and balancing this meal with a sugar source is important.
