taco salad recipeHere’s a delicious taco salad recipe for us MuscleHackers.

This is the proof that you don’t have to skip on taste to enjoy a high protein, low-carb lifestyle.

This taco salad recipe is suitable for the low-carb part of your carb-cycling diet.

Makes 1 or 2 servings depending on how hungry you are ;)

Ingredients

  2. 1/2 packet taco seasoning (see package for quantity of water)
  3. 1 cup bell pepper strips
  4. 2 tablespoons salsa
  5. 4 cups loosely packed lettuce (romaine)
  6. 1 cup diced tomato
  7. 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  8. 1/2 cup sour cream

Cooking

  1. Brown beef in a skillet
  2. Add taco seasoning (with water)
  3. Add peppers and salsa
  4. Cook until veggies are al dente (soft on outside, still a little hard on inside)

Serving

  1. Arrange your lettuce and tomatoes on a plate
  2. Spoon on your taco mixture
  3. Now add your cheese, sour cream and more salsa on top

Enjoy it! :)

I found this recipe in the great TNT Diet. A wonderful addition to your bodybuilding library if you fancy a read.

I’m in Ireland (Republic) does anyone know of a low carb taco seasoning brand that is available in Ireland?

Thanks!

@Dermot. Call into Tesco and pick up the old el paso taco seasoning packet – delish! like this….

Hey Mark
Thanks for the feedback – just to confirm when I look at the carb content for the Old El Paso seasoning it seems very high (with a large percentage of dextrose included).

Apologies if I’m missing something here.

@Dermot. That’s right mate but you only need a little bit. I said 1/2 packet in recipe but I only use 1 heaped teaspoon now, prob 3 grams carbs in total.
