These are easy to make and satisfying beef cabbage tacos that are made with cabbage as an alternative to standard taco shells. They're a good choice for Phase 2 or Phase 3 of the diet and they are only made with HCG approved ingredients. Try to use organic beef for these tacos and you can also substitute lettuce leaves for the cabbage. Be careful to not add any ingredients that aren't allowed on the diet, and if you use steak be sure that it's a low fat cut that is approved for the diet.
You should use the leanest ground beef possible, ideally 95% lean. You can also use any low fat steak cut that is approved for the diet and cut it into small strips which can work as a good substitute. Chicken can also be substituted or fish or any other HCG diet protein.
