I sauteed the onion with a green and yellow pepper kind of like fajitas. Tore up bits of tortilla. Then I squeezed lime over the meat and added salt and pepper. Also doubled the chipotle.
Very yummy! I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about this one as I was cooking it.. I kept tasting it and was worried about the beef being so bland when I first pulled it out of the water. But once everything was added it wasn't bland at all!! I took the advice from previous comments and added more chipotle and definitely squeezed some lime in. I used red potatoes because that's what I had (and prefer) and red wine vinegar instead of cider. I put the potatoes in with the beef directly after cooking instead of separate bowls because I thought that was tedious and then mixed the vinegar in with everything. I also spooned the mixture onto a flax seed tortilla with some melted reduced fat shredded cheese and then topped it all with chopped cilantro. SO GOOD! And my roommate is a vegetarian so all the leftovers are for ME! Yay! Pros: One pot meal staple ingredients Cons: Long cook time
I thought this was just okay. It had the smokiness of the chipotles but it was just missing some zing....even with lo-fat sour cream and salsa it was just lacking something.....any ideas?
Even better the next day...Perfect work lunch I found this on Eating Well's list of low cost recipes and though I would give it a try. It's a delicious filling lunch at 245 calories per serving. I think it's better the next day as the vinegar has time to mellow a little. A little cilantro also adds some brightness. Delicious! Pros: Delicious and filling great work lunch Cons: Long inactive prep time
A good start... I liked the ideas in this dish but I switched this up by using chicken instead of beef and sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes. I boiled and shredded the chicken which took about 1/2 the time as the beef. Used about 4-5 tbsp of the chipotle instead of 3. Served it with shredded romaine and corn tortillas - it was a hit!
This was excellent! I am just mad at myself for not doubling the recipe for more leftovers! It was also very easy to make.
Easy and delicious. Our local grocery store makes home made flour tortillas which were still warm when we folded this mixture into them with a dollop of low fat sour cream. YUMMMMM
This was delicious and even better the next day--worth doubling the recipe. I served with corn tortillas chopped romaine sliced radishes and chipotle salsa. Would also be great as a burrito.
Lime is definitely the answer to bring this dish to life. Anonymous
