tacos para desayuno (breakfast tacos)

October 14th, 2008

You possibly will not accept that you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes tacos para desayuno (breakfast tacos) but it is possible. It is crucial to not eat tacos para desayuno (breakfast tacos) or other high calorie breakfast every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself these kinds of food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1400 to 1600 calories per day, and then on the 7th day, I eat anything - without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise plan or taken any pills or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also find it helps to have some support when trying to lose weight and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Tacos para Desayuno (Breakfast Tacos)

12 flour tortillas
4 strips bacon, chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2/3 cup green chiles, minced
2/3 cup onions, minced
2/3 cup potatoes, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt
Heaping 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
8 ounces chorizo
1 1/4 pounds very lean ground beef
4 eggs, slightly beaten
Refried beans (optional)
1 cup Monterey jack cheese, grated

Fry the bacon until it is soft. Drain grease and remove bacon to a small dish.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over moderate heat and add green chiles, onions, potatoes and garlic. Saut? the vegetables until they are well browned, adjusting the heat as necessary, about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often. You may have to add a little more olive oil to keep the vegetables from sticking. Add tomatoes and continue cooking for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add salt, cumin and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Add chorizo, breaking it up and stirring it into the vegetables. When the chorizo has browned and released most of its fat, add the ground beef, breaking it up and mixing it with the other ingredients. When the ground beef has browned, add the bacon, cover the skillet, turn the heat to very low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Add the eggs and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until eggs are well incorporated and set.

Spoon filling on each tortilla, add some refried beans, if used, top with cheese, and serve with your favorite hot sauce.
