Meal of the Week

Tacos in 10 minutes from start to finish!
Think Mexican food is a no-no on the Zone diet?  You won't believe how good these Zone friendly tacos taste!!  These tacos are fast and super easy.  All you need are the following ingredients: Pre-cooked pork or beef in Au Jus (Try Hormel or Tyson brands), 1 tsp of cumin, a few pinches of Cayenne pepper, 4 tablespoons of cilantro, 1/3 cup of onion, tomato(s), lime wedges, guacamole (pre-made) or smash up your own avocado), Mission Carb Balance Fajita Tortillas (5 grams of carbs per tortilla--Believe me, these things taste super good!)

Warm-up the meat in the microwave. While the meat is heating, chop the onion, tomato, cilantro, and lime.  When the meat is finished, add the cumin and a few pinches of Cayenne pepper to taste.  Warm the tortillas on a hot griddle or over a low flame directly on the stove burner.  BE CAREFUL IF YOU USE THIS METHOD!
Combine the ingredients using the following Zone block suggestions:

2 Block Meal

2 oz. pork or beef (protein);  2 teaspoons of guacamole (fat); 2 fajita-size tortillas (1 block carbs), 1/2 tomato, 1 splash of lime, 2 tsp of onion and 2 tablespoons of cilantro (1/2 block carbs) add 1/2 block of fruit to round out two blocks of carbs. 

3 Block Meal
3 oz. pork or beef (protein);  3 tablespoon of guacamole (fat); 3 fajita-size tortillas (1 1/2 blocks carbs), 1/2 tomato, 1 splash of lime, 2 tsp of onion and 2 tablespoons of cilantro (1/2 block carbs) add 1 block of fruit to round out three blocks of carbs.
