Cooks' Note

You can easily substitute 1 1⁄2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or peeled and deveined shrimp (cook the shrimp just until they turn pink) for the beef in this low-glycemic Tex-Mex mainstay. It’s great with guacamole salad (see page 106), pinto beans (see page 240), and salsa—either homemade (see page 324) or your favorite prepared variety. If you must, serve with 2 whole-wheat tortillas per serving.
