EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Boost your fiber with beans. Filled with many other important nutrients, beans are an excellent source of fiber that's so important for good blood glucose management and to keep your digestive tract moving.

Stir-fry chicken strips not available? Buy the same weight of boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and cut up the meat yourself.

If you'd prefer, pinto beans can be substituted for the black beans.

We made Peppermint Bark last year which was a huge hit! (I thought I blggoed about it, but guess not.) That would be fun again. And Bacon Candy would be tasty. I suppose we could also bottle up some homemade "Gyros/Lamb Burger seasoning." But, spices can get expensive...the pondering continues.

Actually, this recipe is already fine for celiacs. The Old El Paso brand Taco seasoning is one that does not contain any gluten. The only thing you would do different is use corn tortillas instead of flour! Enjoy!!
