Thank you Beyond Meat for sponsoring this post. Try The Beyond Burger today! The Future of Protein. Made from Plants.
Last month I told about my journey to explore a plant based diet with my son. There are a lot of delicious options available but one of our most favorite secret weapons for delicious meals is to use The Beyond Burger from Beyond Meat as a base for a creative dinner. You can use The Beyond Burger as a traditional burger on a bun, or get creative and ditch the bun for a low carb, plant based burger.

MY LATEST VIDEOS The Beyond Burger is plant based protein that cooks and looks like real meat. It has 20 grams of plant based protein per patty and doesn’t contain soy, gluten or GMOs. You can find The Beyond Burger in the meat case across the US in over 7,000 grocery stores!
You can grill The Beyond Burger, or pan fry it in a skillet.
We love Mexican food around here, so I decided to make The Beyond Burger into a taco burger, topped with our favorite taco toppings.
This is a versatile recipe, you can pretty much modify it to suit what you like. And if you are keto or low carb, you will probably want to ditch the beans and the tortilla strips. Although the tortillas are amazing, and a few of them won’t alter the carb count too much.
This was so good! I think you could even chop the burger up and eat it more like a taco salad if you wanted. And The Beyond Burger, looks just like real beef!
My son loved it and asked for another one.
