Been watching The Plant Slant and it was in one of his videos and he liked it, so I decided to try it (with half beef and half beans) and it was nice! It’s large though, the…size of a 3/4ths cookie sheet. Leftovers were frozen!

    I’m like you, so I wanted to math this out a bit:

    • First I would replace the beans with refried black beans for more flavor and just slightly more carbs (~8carbs per serving if you divide into 8 pieces) @ 66Cal per serving
    • 1 lb Ground (~1200Cal per pound) @ 150Cal per serving
    • 8 Carb Balance burrito size Tortillas ( 4 Carb & 110Cal each) @ 110Cal per serving (4 carbs)
    • 6 tostadas (I went with Ole` @ 120Cal each and 16 Carbs) @ 90 Cal per serving (12 Carbs)
    • 3 TBSP Sour Cream - (90 CAL & 1Carb) @ 34 Cal
    • 1 TBSP Butter (100Cal) @ 13 Cal
    • 1 Cup Mild Cheddar (440Cal & 4 Carbs) @ 55 Cal
    • Lettuce and Tomato to taste (negligible) @ ~10 Cal per serving

    So it’s Around 528 Calories and around 26 Carbs. You could bake some tortillas instead of going with corn - it would be around the same calories, but that’s like 1.5Carbs per serving vs. 16 for corn tostadas and knocks it down under 500 Calories
