Recipe Tip
Meaty Matters
Lean cuts of protein supply amino acids that give structure to the body in skin, cell membranes and muscles.

Buffalo has a beeflike flavor that seems familiar to most people yet it’s lower in fat.

simple, great flavor and so easy. nice break from the standard. Adjust the salsa and chipole for a little less spice if needed.
