Gluten Free Low Glycemic Tacos



1 lb. Extra Lean Ground Sirloin, Turkey, or Buffalo
1 15 oz can Black Beans, drained and rinsed
1 tsp Chili Powder
½ tsp Cumin
¼ tsp Oregano
7 Eggs, slightly beaten
Baby Spinach or Salad Greens
Tomatoes, diced
½ cup Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
½ cup Tillamook Shredded Italian Cheese (Parmesan & Mozzarella)
Olives, sliced
Daisy Low Fat Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
Salsa (optional)

Directions: 

 Skillet method:

 1. Brown meat in skillet. Drain off any grease. Add chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cover meat with water (about 1½ cups). Bring to light boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is almost gone. Add black beans and stir to mix. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.  
2. Spray 10 inch skillet with oil. 
3. Mix the Italian cheese with the beaten eggs.  Pour 1/2 of the egg mixture into the skillet and place lid on pan. Cook until eggs are set. Remove lid, flip eggs over and remove pan from heat. 
4. Spread meat & bean mixture over top of eggs. Then top with cheddar cheese. Cover and let sit a couple minutes until cheese is melted. 
5. Cut into 4 triangles and place on plates. 
6. Cook the rest of  the egg mixture the same way and place on plates. 7. Top with baby spinach, olives, tomatoes, salsa, and low fat sour cream or greek yogurt.

 Cookie Sheet method:
 When serving a larger group I prefer this method. 

 Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Brown meat in skillet. Drain off any grease. Add chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cover meat with water (about 1½ cups).. Bring to light boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is almost gone. Add black beans and stir to mix. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.  
2. Spray cookie sheet with oil. 
3. Mix the Italian cheese with the beaten eggs.  Pour all the egg mixture onto the cookie sheet. Lift the edge of the cookie sheet and let the eggs spread to the corners. Place in the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until eggs are set. 
4. Remove from oven and spread meat & bean mixture over top of eggs. Top with cheddar cheese. Place back in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.
5. Remove from oven. You can now decide if you want to cut into 16-20 squares and let each person top with their favorite topping or you can top with baby spinach, olives, tomatoes, salsa, and low fat sour cream or greek yogurt, slice and serve. Serves 8-10
