Carne Picata Tacos -- gluten and grain free

At my local grocer, I'm able to get Carne Picata -- shredded beef steak -- in the fresh meat case.  It is rather inexpensive and a real treat for my family.

Here's a picture of the finished product:

This recipe uses several other recipes from this blog:

Besan Tortillas (not for SCD)
Homemade Refried Beans (Mashed Pinto Beans)
Homemade Adobo Seasoning Without Pepper



Carne Picata, or shredded beef steak is really simple to prepare.

Spray a 10" skillet with olive oil cooking spray and put 1 1/2 pounds carne picata into it.  Cook the meat over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the red is gone from the meat.  Season it to taste with about 2 teaspoonsful of Homemade Adobo Seasoning Without Pepper.


To prepare Carne Picata Tacos, warm the Besan Tortillas on a dry skillet.  Place the tortillas, one at a time, onto a medium-hot skillet.  Warm them for just a few seconds on one side, then flip them to the other side.  Remove them to a plate and cover them with a towel to keep them warm. 

Fill the tortillas with Homemade Refried Beans (Mashed Pinto Beans), the Carne Picata (as described above), and whatever typical taco fillings are preferred.  In the photo, I used lettuce, cucumbers, radishes and a very few bits of diced tomato.  Fresh and delicious!

Enjoy!
