And who doesn’t LOVE getting their hands dirty with a meal like this?! It’s always fun, wouldn’t you agree?

CHEATS

This is a great meal to make double of, so grate up twice as much stuff and then you can eat it over a couple of days and save yourself time.

ADDITIONS

Dairy lovers – Add some grated cheese or cottage cheese.

STORAGE OPTIONS

You can store the salad stuff and ground beef mix in the fridge for 3-4 days.

You can pre-cook the beef mixture and freeze it for a later date. It will keep for 1-2 months in the freezer.

COOKING CLASS

Spicy Beef Fajita Recipe

Net Carbs per serve 14 g

 

Servings	3 people
Prep Time	5 minutes
Cook Time	10 minutes

Ingredients

• 520 g (18.34 oz) ground beef mince
• 1 tsp garlic oil
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili flakes
• 150 g (5.3 oz) cherry tomatoes– equivalent to 1 cup – halved
• 1 carrot– grated
• 1 onion– sliced finely
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup guacamole
• 3 serves baby cos/ romaine lettuce leaves– removed whole leaves from the base of the lettuce and wash
• 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

1. Prepare all the ingredients and separate into serving bowls ready for eating.

    
2. Heat a fry pan over high heat, add coconut oil, then onion, and allow to brown off for a couple of minutes.

    
3. Turn the heat down, add the balsamic vinegar and allow to cook for around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Each time you stir it, if it seems too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water to make sure the onions stay moist and caramelize well. If they dry out they will burn instead of caramelize.

    
4. Heat another pan over high heat, add the garlic oil and ground beef. Use your spatula to break up the beef and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Stir it occasionally and keep breaking it up as you do so. You want smaller pieces of ground beef, not big chunky pieces.

    
5. After a couple of minutes of cooking, add the cumin and chili to the pan and continue to cook for a further few minutes until cooked.

    
6. Your onions and beef should be ready about the same time, so serve each into separate bowls and you are now ready to serve up your fajitas.

   

I hope you enjoy it
