Huaraches de Nopal (Mexican Weight Loss Meal)
10 mins prepServes 4
This meal can be a quick 30-minute dinner packed with the flavors of Mexico. It can easily be low carb by omitting the beans and allows for adding preferred protein and toppings like avocado, pico de gallo, or salsa.
1. In a greased pan, brown the ground beef for 6-8 minutes or until fully cooked. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic cloves.
2. Cook the frijoles de olla (1/2 cup for 1 serving) in a lightly greased pan for 4-5 minutes. Smash until smooth.
3. Lightly grease a comal with oil and add the nopales. Add a thin layer of oil and salt to taste.
4. Cook nopales on a comal for 3 minutes and flip. Cook for an additional 3 minutes and flip again.
5. To make 1 serving, divide 1/2 cup pinto beans, 3 oz cooked ground beef, and 40 grams of cheese between the 2 nopales. Cover and turn off the heat.
6. Once the cheese has melted, transfer to a plate and add toppings of choice - I added 6 tbsp pico de gallo.
