Low-carb, grain-free Mexican food is hard to find, but it's easy to make your own at home. This recipe has an authentic ingredient: carne de lengua, or beef tongue. Don't be put off: beef tongue is tender, delicious, and full of collagen. Look for it directly from farmers in your area. To cook it, cut it in 1" to 1-1/2" slices and pressure cook for one hour. Enjoy the delicious broth as a bonus.
Ingredients
- 1 slice cooked beef tongue, peeled and cut into small cubes
- 1 egg wrap (I use these from Egglife)
- 1/4 cup cooked black or pinto beans
- Chili pepper
- Oregano
- Garlic (powdered or minced)
- Cumin
- Guacamole (with no emulsifiers)
- Salsa
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream or homemade cream cheese with no emulsifiers
Put the egg wrap on a plate and put the beef and beans down the middle of it. Sprinkle with the herbs and spices. Wrap, turn over and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Spoon salsa over the burrito and sprinkle with cheese. Add guacamole and sour cream or homemade cream cheese on the side.
Makes 1 burrito.
