Preparation
Step 1
*Cilantro Rice*
Add 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup of rice, and salt to a sauce pan. Bring water to a boil. Throw in jalapeno cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
I puree the cilantro, green onion and garlic together. When rice is done, stir mixture into rice.
*Garlic Black Beans*
Drain and rinse the can of beans. Add beans, crushed garlic, salt, bay leaves, and water to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
*Lower fat guacamole*
Quarter grape tomatoes. Dice the avocado. Stir together with salt and lime juice.
*Meat*
Grill and dice any meat that meets your fancy. I sometimes used pork loin, lightly seasoned with taco seasoning.
*Assemble*
1/4 cup prepared rice
1/3 cup beans (use a slotted spoon to drain liquid)
3 oz meat
4 Tbls your favorite prepared salsas
1/4 of tomato/avocado mix
