April 7, 2006, Newsletter Issue #11: Mexican recipe makeover for low carb dieting

Tip of the Week

The regular Rancheros recipe contains 32 carb grams per serving and calls for:



1 whole wheat flour tortilla

1/4 cup soy beans

1 egg

2 tbsp salsa

1/4 avocado



If you are a low carb dieter, here's how you can change the list of ingredients:



1 low-carb tortilla (e.g., Mama Lupe's)

1/4 cup cooked soybeans

1 egg

2 tbsp salsa

1/4 California avocado (black skin)



Now, we've reduced the carbohydrate content in the recipe to just 9.5 grams.



Heat the tortilla and the beans. Fry the egg and top the tortilla with beans. Serve with salsa and avocado slices.
