Hey!
I shared this in chat, I thought others might appreciate it. I have attached 2 super dank images of the final dish!!
Feel free to make modifications, substitutions, etc and post your version as a reply! With pics!
If enough beans + high polyphenol olive oil are used, it can easily be a 2,000 calorie meal, great for the OMAD (One Meal a Day) intermittent fasting approach.
Can be made vegetarian using Beyond/Impossible ground "beef" and a refried beans can that doesn't use lard (Organic Rosarittas uses coconut oil)... Or just make your own, its easy.
It can be built on a big plate, or a large flat bottom bowl... Or my personal favorite, a big tupperware... which makes popping on a lid and saving some for later super easy!
Here are the basics of how it's done... but below, I also included the full recipe that I share with friends.
I take 0.5 to 1 can organic re-fried beans with added sea salt, cumin, black pepper. I prepare a 1/2lb grass fed ground beef cooked plain and cooled, then add high-polyphenol olive oil and salted Taco or Fajita Seasoning.
Then layered with layers as a Stacker... Refried beans, salsa + hot sauce, purple onion, beef, thick layer of crushed tortilla chips, hand shredded salad mix, more salsa and hot sauce, 1/2 in layer of minced cilantro, roma tomato, avacado, sea salt, 2 limes worth of juice, then super dank ripe blue cheese!!
Protein, carbs, fiber, healthy fats, vege-ta-bles, spice, crunch, acidity, artisan cheese... checks all the boxes!
