Tacos

So today tacos were requested so this is it:

• 1 lb. hamburger
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning (recipe at end)
• 1 cup water
• soft tortillas or taco shells (in the recipe, ignore the warming/folding if you're using taco shells)
  
• 1 cup of diced onion (small onion)
• 2 tsp diced garlic
  
• shredded lettuce (to taste)
  
• diced tomatoes (to taste)
  
• cheese (mozzarella and cheddar, but you can use any you like)
• sour cream (optional)
  
• hot peppers, sliced (optional)
  

First, brown the hamburger and drain off the fat. Then add the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and 1 cup water and simmer for about 30 min. Put it to the side.
Next, warm your tortillas, so that they're pliable. You can do this by dampening two paper towels (soak them with water then squeeze most of it out), then put one on a plate(bigger than your tortillas) put a few tortillas on it, then cover them with the other paper towel.

If you want, at this step you can set it up like a buffet and just have everyone do their own. Or you can do it yourself. If you're doing a buffet set up the ingredients in this order, going along with the path you want everyone to move on:
Plates, tortillas (keep them covered with the paper towel so they stay warm and moist), hamburger, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, peppers.

Assemble like this:
Put a tortilla on you plate, spread some hamburger on it, then sprinkle your lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese on it, then put a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle some sliced peppers on it. Then fold the bottom edge up and roll the tortilla from left to right.

For diabetics, this should be a great meal, as it's got minimal starch with plenty of protein and vegetables. try to keep the ratio of vegetable to meat/cheese at 2:1 when assembling.

Taco seasoning:
6 parts chili powder
2 parts cumin
1 part cayenne pepper (you can increase or decrease depending on taste)

Mix the amount you need together, if you have too much you can store it in an empty spice shaker and store it in the pantry or spice rack.

The cooked hamburger is very versatile, try eating it on a bun or in salad!
