Introduction
About this Recipe
Did you know that 3 oz of beef roughly has 23g of protein and 2g heme-iron?
Ground beef is usually well tolerated by post-op bariatric tummies too (in comparison to red meat like steak for example which may be way harder to digest after bariatric surgery).
These mini beef tacos can be a great addition to your dinner rotation once you’re able to tolerate wraps.
We used plain wraps, but you can switch it up however you want it: wholegrain, low-carb or corn tortillas.
Here’s how to make this!
