In case you haven’t noticed, I am lovin’ the low-carb recipes lately. As a type 1 diabetic, I am especially sensitive to how foods make me feel. And for me, low-carb foods keep my blood sugars more stable and still leave me feeling satisfied. (Read: they help me feel amazing!) You might think that low-carb recipes are void of flavor or excitement. Think again! This low-carb taco recipe is proof of that.

If you have ever read Dr. Bernstein’s books about diabetes solutions and recipes, you’ll know that things like a taco shell, tomatoes, and onions are not good for diabetics. They raise the blood sugar rapidly, causing a spike. Yeah…I think I’ll pass on that. So instead of the traditional taco shell, this low-carb taco recipe uses a simple 2-egg omelette instead. And the taco is stuffed full of only foods that are diabetic-friendly.
Low-Carb Taco Recipe, Ingredients, and Directions
The way I feel like describing this recipe reminds me an awful lot of the hilarious Ham Porter quote from the movie Sandlot: “First, you take the graham. You stick the chocolate on the graham. Then, you roast the mallow. When the mallow’s flaming, you stick it on the chocolate. Then, you cover it with the other end. Then, you stuff.”
Here, let me try…First, you take the eggs. You beat the eggs with the fork and put them in the pan. Then, you cook the eggs. When the egg is bubbly, you flip it in the pan. Then, you take it off and fill it with tasty things. Then, you stuff. #amiright? For a slightly more detailed approach, read below.
P.S. I LOVE my Rachel Ray cookware! If you are trying to eat a more low-carb diet, I highly recommend investing in some good cookware that actually work. Check it out here.
