Craving tacos?!? Well thanks to some very inventive folks we now have some BLE compliant tortilla options. This recipe uses the cheese tortillas from Trader Joe’s…no reason you could use any other variety though!

Start by making your spice rub. Combine 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Rub this mixture all over 2 lbs of bee flank steak.

Place the beef, 1 chopped yellow onion and a couple of seeded and chopped jalapeños in your slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours.

Remove beef and shreds with 2 forks. Add back in some liquid in order to keep the meat moist and flavorful.

Microwave your cheese “tortilla” for 1 minute and then shape to your desired shape.

Load up your “tortilla” with 2oz of the beef, 2oz of avocado, 1oz of bell peppers, sliced, 2 tbsp of salsa and a squeeze of lime. This will equal your full protein and fat and 1oz of veggies. Add another 13oz of veggies on the side and you have a complete BLE women’s weight loss portion dinner. Recipe to follow.
